Flowering until frost bites, ‘White Cloud’ is a reliable bloomer with lovely fragrant foliage reminiscent of oregano. It will attract pollinators, and bees love it. Plant ‘White Cloud’ along beds where you can enjoy its beauty and fragrance as you walk by. Over time, it will also spread gently to form a groundcover.

Description

12-24" tall x 12-24" wide. Calamintha nepeta glandulosa ‘White Cloud’ (Nepeta) is an easy care, pollinator-friendly favorite that brightens the garden with tiny tubular white flowers on sturdy upright stems. The leaves release a lovely minty-oregano scent when brushed, so plant this hardy perennial in a sunny location along paths or garden borders where it will get some attention. ‘White Cloud’ is happy in average soil and will tolerate both moist and dry soil conditions. A good companion to colorful Echinacea, Agastache, and Lavender. Plant it along retaining walls or areas where a low maintenance, deer resistant perennial with bountiful flowers is desired. Shear back the first flush of flowers when they’ve faded to tidy up the plant and to encourage more flowers.

Planting & Care

Tips for Growing Catmint (Nepeta)

The Catmints (Nepeta) are some of our best garden perennials being long-lived, very easy-to-grow, resistant to browsing animals (deer and rabbits). Catmints are an excellent source of nectar for honeybees and butterflies and are a great beginner's perennial.

Many species are excellent in the xeric (low-water garden) and they grow well in a wide range of soil types, including dry clay. They grow well with at least a half day of sun, but flower best in full sun. We recommend planting only sterile hybrids and avoiding any Nepeta that are propagated from seed. The seed-grown Catmints can be aggressively weedy, spreading themselves throughout the garden and crowding out neighboring perennials.

The varieties we offer are outstanding, sterile (no seeds), long-blooming varieties:

  • Nepeta faassenii 'Select Blue' - This low growing, non-spreading plant has beautiful lavender-blue flowers. In early summer after the first flush of flowers have faded, shear off the flower spikes just above the foliage to get the plants to re-bloom again later in the summer.
  • Nepeta 'Walker's Low' - has showy deep blue flowers on tall flower spikes. 'Walker's Low' grows as a neat, non-suckering, well behaved plant and blooms for many months from late spring into mid-summer. Deadheading (shearing off the faded flower spikes just above the foliage) will encourage stronger re-blooming.

Reviews

Lacy and delicate looking, but tough

"Healthy and happy in my hot garden, with a feathery, lacy look that contrasts well either coarser leaved plants like Echinacea. Nice size at one year old."

— GingerP (5/5)

Beautiful

"Beautiful border for plant bed. Full Sun for easy growth. Attracts bees and butterflies. I highly recommend this plant. My White Cloud is growing in southern exposure."

— MelloPlanter (5/5)

I would buy this plant again

"Great for new plantings"

— Nick (5/5)

Tough, little maintenance

"GREAT low maintenance plant. Works planted next to almost everything, cheery insect attractant."

— Plantgeek (5/5)

Low maintenance and looks great

"first year won't be very big but the second it will flourish. I bought ten plants from here just to see what happens and they are all doing great. this is my first house so I have no experience with plants. I put them in the ground and they took off. you can see them in the picture: white cloud, Texas sage, bee balm, black eyed Susan, goldenrod. Planted them last summer"

— JK (4/5)

Wonderful scent; more open habit than expected

"It's very healthy and has grown well. The scent is terrific, and the little white blooms are very sweet. I wish its habit was a bit tighter-looking like the picture. It's quite wispy and airy. But I'm definitely keeping it as a textural variation in the border, especially because of the amazing smell."

— JR (4/5)

A perfectly wonderful little plant!

"So very pretty in a rustic way! Suits my Xeric garden perfectly."

— Jan (5/5)

Product doing well

"Currently placing in a open area. Testing to see how they do and will then decide to purchase others."

— JT N. (4/5)
