Description
Calamintha nepeta, also known as Lesser Calamint, is a delightful compact perennial that brings a long-lasting floral display and wonderful fragrance to your garden. It produces tiny, tubular lavender-blue flowers from early summer into fall, attracting bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects.
The foliage is aromatic—minty and refreshing—and forms neat, bushy mounds perfect for edging sunny borders, herb gardens, and rock gardens. It’s extremely low-maintenance, drought-tolerant once established, and deer-resistant.
- Full Sun to Partial Shade
- Mature Height: 18 to 24 Inches
- Mature Spread: 18 to 24 Inches
- Zone: 4 - 9
Plant Care Instructions and Attributes
- Prefers well-drained soil and regular watering during establishment.
- Deadheading not required, but trimming midseason can refresh the plant.
- Excellent companion plant for roses and vegetables due to its pest-repelling properties.
- Aromatic foliage is unappealing to deer and rabbits.
Note: Ships in a nursery pot with protective packaging. Foliage may be trimmed for transit. Plant regrows quickly with proper care and light.
