Calamint

Calamint Marvelette White is a modest and undemanding perennial that reliably scents every sunny garden. Its original homeland is the sunny and dry slopes of Southern Europe, so in our climate it thrives best in direct sun in well-drained, poorer sandy or loamy soil. It handles the winter without problems and tolerates frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant directly into the flowerbed, where it will very soon form a compact, airy little bush reaching a height of around forty centimeters. It does not suffer from any diseases or pests, so even complete beginners can easily handle its care. It blooms for a record-long time from July to September with a large amount of tiny, pure white little flowers that are so typical of the Marvelette White variety. The whole plant emits a pleasant minty-spicy scent and its thyme-like flowers act as a literal magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. It will look good among roses as well as in natural-style steppe beds with shorter grasses. The white shade of the flowers brings softness and lightness to plantings. The white flowers and green leaves are also edible, so you can use them to garnish summer meals. Calamint is also excellent for cutting into smaller fresh bouquets, adding a fine structure to them in a vase and staying fresh for many days. It also serves wonderfully for drying for winter decorations.
