Calamintha nepeta 'Blue Cloud'
Plant Type: Perennial
A pale blue flowering selection of this easy to grow, long blooming perennial. Glaucous green aromatic foliage resembles that of catmint while tiny yet profuse flowers and overall habit remind one of a blue tinted baby's breath. Blooms summer through late summer and then again in fall after a cutback. Attracts bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds. Effective cascading over rock walls, garden paths, or as foreground for roses or taller leggy perennials. Relatively trouble-free.
