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

Calamint (Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta), also known botanically as Clinopodium nepeta subsp. nepeta, is a fragrant herbaceous perennial appreciated for its aromatic green foliage and delicate flowers. Its small leaves release a pleasant mint-like fragrance when brushed, while its airy clusters of pale lavender to nearly white blossoms add a soft, natural appearance to ornamental gardens.

This flowering perennial is especially attractive to bees, butterflies, and other visiting pollinators. Calamint develops a bushy, branching growth habit that works well in cottage gardens, perennial borders, herb gardens, and pollinator-friendly landscapes. Its combination of fragrant foliage and seasonal flowers also makes it a versatile choice for outdoor container arrangements.

Supplied as one live Calamint plant in a quart-size nursery pot (QT), this perennial grows best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Once established, Calamint generally tolerates periods of dry weather and provides fragrant foliage and seasonal floral interest.
