Calamintha n. nepeta

A charming and aromatic perennial, Calamintha nepeta is a favourite in Irish cottage gardens. With masses of tiny, pale blue to lilac flowers from mid-summer to early autumn, it attracts bees and butterflies while filling the air with a refreshing minty scent. Ideal for borders, gravel gardens, or herb beds, this hardy plant thrives in well-drained soil and full sun. Low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established, it’s perfect for adding soft texture and movement to your garden.
