Calamintha nepeta is a compact, bushy perennial forming a neat mound of small, aromatic, grey-green leaves. From late summer into early autumn it produces a profusion of tiny, two-lipped, pale lilac flowers in loose clusters — delicate individually but collectively creating a soft, hazy effect that bees find irresistible.
It thrives in well-drained soil in a warm, sunny position, and is well suited to the front of a border, a gravel garden, or the edge of a path where its aromatic foliage can be appreciated as you brush past.
