Enjoy a garden filled with nonstop blooms! With its charming mounding habit and softly mint-scented leaves, Montrose White Calamint showcases stunning large spires of white flowers that are sure to impress. |
Calamintha nepeta 'Montrose White' is a delightful, low-growing perennial notable for its long-blooming, white flowers and aromatic foliage. Part of the Calamint family, this compact cultivar forms tidy, mat-forming mounds typically reaching 12-18 inches tall and wide. In mid-to-late summer, the plant is blanketed with an abundance of small, white, tubular flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The rounded, slightly hairy leaves emit a refreshing, minty fragrance when brushed or crushed. Adaptable to a range of well-drained soil types, 'Montrose White' thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought-tolerant once established. Its tidy habit and prolific blooms make it an excellent choice for edging, ground cover, rock gardens, or spilling over the edges of containers. The long-lasting flowers and pleasant scent also allow this cultivar to be effectively used in cutting gardens or as a fragrant addition to mixed perennial borders.
