Calamintha nepeta ssp.nepeta

Calamintha nepeta ssp. nepeta, commonly known as Lesser Calamint, is a fragrant, low-growing perennial with aromatic gray-green leaves and delicate lilac to pale purple tubular flowers that bloom from mid to late summer. It’s great for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. This drought-tolerant herb thrives in well-drained, sunny locations and is perfect for borders, herb gardens, and rockeries. Its compact habit and long flowering period make it a versatile and low-maintenance addition to Mediterranean and cottage-style gardens.
