About Poliomintha incana (Torr.) A.Gray
Poliomintha incana (Torr.) A.Gray, commonly called frosted mint, is a flowering plant species in the mint family. It is native to dry and desert regions of the southwestern United States and northern Mexico. This plant is a strongly aromatic shrub that grows dark green foliage covered in small white hairs. Fuzzy, tubular flowers in shades of light purple and blue, marked with tiny purple spots, are scattered across its foliage. Native American groups, especially the Tewa and Hopi, use frosted mint as food—eaten fresh or dried—and as a flavoring.
