Like all mints, it can be aggressive in small landscapes. It has very densely hairy leaves and stems that give it a fuzzy texture. It grows best in well-draining soils that are high in organic matter but is tolerant to a wide range of soil types. Pollinators love it, and it is deer and rabbit resistant.
Hairy mountain mint will grow taller in average soils and full sun, but is more likely to reach only one to two feet in height if grown in part shade or drier soils.
