Description

Calamintha grandiflora ‘Variegata’ forms upright, bushy mounds of soft green and creamy white variegated leaves, maintaining their variegation until early fall. Blooms are complimented by clusters of dark pink flowers, studded on short spikes among the leaves that grow early in the summer.

Calamintha ‘Variegata’ is a close cousin to other garden mints, hence its common name of “Calamint” and is attractive to a wide variety of pollinators, such as butterflies or bees. Calamintha ‘Variegata’ tends to spread out from wherever it is planted and prefers light shade with medium to moist soil. Deer resistant and fragrant foliage make it a great choice for any border garden.

We ship via UPS & USPS (the Post Office), and their ship rates are automatically generated through our site. We do not profit on shipping costs. We are working with these providers to get our customers the best rates possible.

All ship times are subject to change if extreme weather conditions are present here at the nursery or at the shipping destination.

Please note: Depending on the time of year, the foliage of the plants may be trimmed to fit into our shipping boxes. This could delay the flowering of the plant, but many perennials actually benefit from being cut back.
