Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta, commonly known as Calamint, is a fragrant, low-growing perennial that produces tiny, tubular flowers in shades of white to pale purple from late spring to early fall. Its aromatic, gray-green foliage adds texture to garden beds, and its compact size makes it perfect for borders, rock gardens, or as a ground cover. Calamint thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and it is highly drought-tolerant once established, making it a hardy addition to xeriscapes or low-maintenance gardens. The plant attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, enhancing the biodiversity of the garden. With its long blooming period and pleasant scent, Calamint is a charming and versatile plant that offers both beauty and fragrance.
