Question
I have a lot of this around my house in Massachusetts. I think it is a species of Pycnanthemum. It was probably originally planted as an ornamental so it might not be a New England native. A leaf has a strong mint smell when broken.
Answer
Dear jfc, you appear to have photographed Pycnanthemum muticum, a species with congested inflorescences and relatively broad leaves with a few teeth on each margin. This is a native species in New England (which is not to state the plants you are photographing weren't planted). Best wishes.
