Calamint

Calamintha is an easy-care perennial that finds its place in any sunny garden. Originating from the dry slopes of Southern Europe, it thrives best in direct sunlight in well-drained, somewhat poor sandy or loamy soil. It doesn't mind heat and drought, and it handles winter and frost without much trouble. It forms small, airy, and compact bushes that give off a pleasant minty-spicy scent. It blooms in a profusion of tiny flowers similar to thyme, lasting from late summer well into the autumn. These small blooms act like a magnet for pollinators, so the area around them will be constantly buzzing with life thanks to bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. In flower beds, it looks very natural and delicate. It works well as an underplanting for taller plants and looks great in the company of roses or in drought-tolerant compositions with ornamental grasses.

Calamint White Cloud, Loukykvět

Calamintha nepeta

Lesser calamint White Cloud is an undemanding and modest perennial that reliably perfumes any sunny garden. It naturally grows on the sunny and dry slopes of Southern Europe, which is why it will welcome direct sun here too, along with well-drained, even poorer sandy or loamy soil. It handles winter without trouble, tolerating frosts down to minus twenty-three degrees. You will receive a grown seedling in a pot from us, which you just need to transplant straight into the flowerbed, where it will very soon form a compact, airy small shrub reaching a height of forty centimeters. Even complete beginners can easily handle growing it, as the plant does not suffer from diseases or pests. From July to September, it blooms with an incredible number of tiny white flowers that emit a pleasant minty-spicy scent. The flowers, resembling thyme, function as a huge magnet for bees, bumblebees, and butterflies. The entire plant is edible and will perfectly garnish summer dishes. In the garden, it will perfectly complement roses or steppe flowerbeds with lower grasses. Furthermore, you can cut the flowers for smaller fresh bouquets, adding lightness and a fine airy structure to them in a vase.

Calamint Marvelette White, Loukykvět

Calamintha nepeta

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.
