Question:

Trying to ID a perennial whose leaves look like mint w/3 flowers that look like catnip, but are pink. Ideas?

The leaves don't smell skunky like catnip. They smell minty, but not necessarily good. The 3 flowers are actually each a cone of many small pink/lavender flowers that look hairy because of their long stamens.

Thanks for the help!
