{"product_id":"blephilia-ciliata","title":"Blephilia ciliata","description":"\u003cp\u003eBlephilia ciliata is a little-known clumping mint cousin, native from Vermont south to Georgia and west to Texas, where it occurs in open woods and meadows. In form, Blephilia ciliata is a woodland version of bee balm without the pesky spreading tendency. Downy wood mint forms a 1.5' tall x 1.5' wide clump of upright hairy stems, topped, starting for us in mid-May with whorls of lavender flowers. Like its cousin, bee balm, Blephilia ciliata is a favorite of native bees. Soils with average to slightly dry moisture levels are ideal. Medicinally, Blephilia was used by Native Americans as a headache treatment, and for culinarily uses, the foliage is both eaten and used to brew teas.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWatch our \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/x94Ocq9e8-Q\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ePlant Spotlight\u003c\/a\u003e video for more information. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Plant Delights Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":40224030359639,"sku":"17371","price":21.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1527\/8799\/files\/Blephilia-ciliata.i-17371.s-67660.r-1_27a684f4-8c15-49d7-a659-b952590cf79a.jpg?v=1789751676","url":"https:\/\/www.plantdelights.sbs\/products\/blephilia-ciliata","provider":"Plant Delights Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
