Calamintha nepeta
Reaching a height of about 12 to 18 inches, Calamintha nepeta features small, opposite leaves that are gray-green and slightly fuzzy. In summer, it produces clusters of small, tubular white flowers with hints of pale pink, creating a dainty and inviting display. The flowers attract pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the vitality of the garden. Calamintha nepeta thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-draining soil. Its aromatic leaves release a pleasant scent when brushed against. This herb is a favored choice for rock gardens, borders, and herb gardens, where it adds both visual appeal and a touch of fragrance. Its adaptability, low maintenance requirements, and pollinator-friendly nature contribute to its popularity as a versatile and attractive herbaceous plant.
