Calamint 1 Live Plant – Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta – 1 Gallon Pot

Calamint (Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta), also classified as Clinopodium nepeta subsp. nepeta, is an aromatic herbaceous perennial valued for its fragrant foliage and delicate flowers. Its small leaves release a pleasant mint-like scent when brushed, while its airy clusters of pale lavender to nearly white blossoms bring a soft, natural appearance to garden borders and herb plantings.

This ornamental herb attracts bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators during its flowering season. Its bushy, branching growth habit makes it suitable for cottage gardens, pollinator landscapes, perennial borders, and outdoor containers. Calamint is also traditionally grown as a culinary herb, although any plant intended for food use should be grown under appropriate edible-garden conditions.

Supplied as one live Calamint plant in a 1 gallon nursery pot, this perennial prefers full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Once established, it generally tolerates periods of dry weather and provides fragrant foliage and seasonal floral interest with relatively modest maintenance.
