Mint Family Height: 12" - 20" May 2, 2005 I found these plants growing in a powerline cut at Haw Ridge greenway. The leaves of this plant resemble nettle leaves, fortunately they don't have the nasty prickles. They have a musky, minty aroma. The flowers are pretty with the white nectar guides. Perennial Where seen:Oak Ridge (Haw Ridge)
