Cultivar Notes -

nepeta

This sun-loving perennial is the perfect choice for attracting pollinators, since it blooms from early summer until frost. Tiny, white flowers cover the bushy habit. Since this is in the mint family, the leaves carry a mint scent. Perfect for rock garden enthusiasts and herb gardens. Use in the landscape as you would Nepeta (Catmint).

Genus Notes -

Calamintha

Calaminthas (Greek for "beautiful mint") are aromatic herbs containing camphor-like essential oils. You can use the leaves in sachets and potpourris or simply admire the countless tiny flowers that line the stems.
