Calamint

White Cloud Calamint is a graceful, long-blooming perennial that forms a soft mound of small, aromatic grey-green leaves. From early summer into fall, the plant becomes covered in a cloud of tiny white flowers that appear to float above the foliage, creating a light and airy effect in the garden. Its delicate texture and extended bloom period make it an excellent choice for borders, cottage gardens, and pollinator plantings.

Its aromatic foliage helps deter deer, while the abundant flowers attract many beneficial pollinators.
