Calamintha nepeta ssp. glandulosa ‘White Cloud’
Tolerant of dry sites, Calamintha nepeta 'White Cloud' has masses of white flowers atop aromatic foliage for months.
Calamintha nepeta ‘White Cloud’ has bright white flowers that are larger and showier than the species. It is longer lived and better smelling than baby’s breath but gives a similar airy white effect blooming from June to October in sunny, average to dry locations. Combine with purple coneflowers, Eryngium, baby sages (Salvia greggii), and Rudbeckia. Great as a late season nectar source for hungry pollinators. Tough and drought tolerant.
