Calamintha nepeta ‘Montrose White’ (Lesser Calamint) is a charming perennial with an airy cloud-like effect that adds softness and movement to rock gardens and borders. A profusion of small, pure white flowers blooms from early summer to fall, attracting bees, butterflies and other beneficial insects. The flowers are complemented by soft green, finely textured foliage that produce a calming minty aroma.
