Description
Common name: Calamint, Lesser Catmint
2021 Perennial Plant Association Plant of the Year™
This sun-loving perennial is the perfect choice for attracting pollinators, since it blooms from early summer until frost. Tiny, white flowers cover the bushy habit. Since this is in the mint family, the leaves carry a mint scent. Perfect for rock garden enthusiasts and herb gardens. Use in the landscape as you would Nepeta (Catmint). Not as hardy as Nepeta and can be treated as an annual in colder zones.
