Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta is a wonderfully airy, long-flowering perennial producing clouds of tiny pale lilac to soft white flowers from midsummer well into autumn. The delicate blooms are carried freely above neat mounds of small, aromatic green foliage, creating a light, hazy effect that softens stronger planting combinations.
Highly valued in naturalistic and cottage garden planting, this graceful perennial blends effortlessly through borders, weaving between roses, salvias, nepeta, and ornamental grasses. The foliage releases a pleasant minty fragrance when brushed, while the nectar-rich flowers are exceptionally attractive to bees and other pollinators.
Reliable, drought tolerant, and remarkably long flowering, it is one of the best “filler” perennials for sunny gardens.
