Calamint - White Marvelette

A beautifully compact, fragrant perennial for pollinators & fragrant‑foliage lovers. Mounded to 25 cm high with a spread of 30 cm, this selection sets pure white flower spikes above silvery‑green, mint‑scented leaves from July through September. The “Marvelette” series blooms in the first year from seed, making it a rare perennial you’ll enjoy right away. It thrives in full sun or light shade, loves well‑drained soil (even dry or rocky sites!), and is a magnet for bees and butterflies. Plant it beside paths, seating areas or containers so you can brush the foliage and release its refreshing minty aroma. It's not invasive like common mint. Use it in dry gardens, borders, or any place that needs fragrance plus pollinator‑friendly charm. Deer resistant.
