Description
Lesser Calamint is a charming, airy perennial that brings a long season of soft color and delightful fragrance to the garden. From early summer well into fall, it is covered in a frothy cloud of tiny, two-lipped flowers in a delicate shade of pale lilac-white. Its small, oval, gray-green leaves release a refreshing minty-oregano scent when brushed. This easy-going plant forms a loose, bushy mound and is a magnet for bees and butterflies. It's perfect for softening the edges of paths, spilling over walls, or filling the front of sunny borders with effortless grace.
