Calamintha nepeta ssp. nepeta

Lesser calamint

This selection forms a perfect mound of Mint-scented leaves, smothered by small white flowers from mid-summer until frost. Flowers become lavender as night-time temperatures decrease. Tolerates both dry and moist soils. Related to the garden Mint, without the spreading habit. Very attractive to pollinators
