Description

An excellent plant for drought prone areas, Calamintha features a long-flowering season, nectar rich blooms and aromatic foliage. From midsummer to the end of autumn, Calamintha nepeta produces loose sprays of small lilac flowers above bushy clumps of downy, grey-green foliage with a minty aroma. The leaves can be used as a culinary herb or for herbal teas. Excellent as a ground cover perennial where its informal habit will soften borders edges and attract a wealth of beneficial insects. Height: 45cm (18in). Spread: 60cm (24in).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.

How to Grow
Grow Calamintha in a sunny position on any moist but well drained soil. Calamintha grows well on neutral or alkaline soils making it a useful plant for chalky areas. Avoid planting in acid soils.
More Info
Feed and water regularly until Calamintha is fully established. Once established it will need little aftercare except for cutting back the faded flower stems in autumn.

Thompson & Morgan strives to ensure that all its plants are delivered to you in the perfect condition for planting. While the majority of our nursery plants cope well with slight delays in intransit, sadly, the time it takes to deliver to certain locations in the UK means that we can't guarantee this for some of our smaller plug products and tender bedding and vegetable lines, which do not respond well to the extra journey time. So regretfully while we offer the majority of our live plant offering nationwide, we are unable to ship plugs, begging plants and tender vegetable plants to the following areas: HS, IV41-IV49, IV51, IV55-56, KW15-KW17, PA34, PA41-48, PA60-PA78, PA80, PH40-PH44, TR21-TR24, ZE1-ZE3
