Calamint - Blue Marvelette

A low‑mounded, pollinator‑friendly perennial that delivers a cloud of violet‑blue blooms above aromatic mint‑scented foliage. This “Marvelette” series selection is first‑year flowering from seed, forming neat 25 cm high, 20 cm wide cushions of silvery‑green leaves topped with upright spikes of tiny blue‑violet tubular flowers. The fresh foliage releases a sweet minty fragrance when brushed, drawing bees and butterflies all summer into fall. Thrives in full sun or light shade, in well‑drained soil. Perfect for rock gardens, borders, pathways, or containers. Great for dry soil or hot sites. Plant it where you’ll catch the scent and the pollinator traffic. Deer resistant.
