White Cloud Calamintha, botanically known as Calamintha nepeta ssp. glandulosa, is an easy-care, airy beauty that fills the garden with nectar-rich, delicate, white flowers from late spring to frost. Its deliciously fragrant foliage is similar to the culinary combination of mint and oregano; bees and beneficial pollinators are very attracted to this plant. Its tubular white flowers cover sturdy wiry stems and appear airy and fresh even on the hottest days of summer.
Plant White Cloud where its fragrance can be enjoyed up close, such as near walkways or garden paths. It grows in zones 5-9, reaching 24 inches tall and wide. This drought-tolerant perennial is resistant to browsing deer and rabbits. Plant this aromatic, knee-high pollinator magnet as a filler under leggier perennials; it is also excellent when planted in drifts to soften borders.
White Cloud Calamintha Care
Plant White Cloud in full sun locations for best flowering, but it will appreciate morning sun and afternoon shade in hot climates. This non-fussy perennial is tolerant of most soil types, from dry to moist conditions. Once White Cloud Calamintha is established, it's extremely drought tolerant.
Trim back White Cloud Calamintha to 6 inches from soil level after it finishes blooming in the fall, or wait until early spring. Calamintha self-sows prolifically from the dried seed heads, so remove spent flower heads if you do not want seedlings the following growing season.
White Cloud Calamintha Spacing
White Cloud Calamintha is a perfect selection for pollinator gardens, waterwise perennial gardens, and walkways and borders to enjoy its fragrance when the leaves are brushed up against. If planting en masse or groups, allow 18 inches between plants to accommodate the mature spread.

Plant Addicts Warranty - 1 Year (Extra Purchase Required)
We encourage all plant lovers to purchase the Plant Addicts Warranty, whether you're a new gardener or an expert. There are many variables outside of anyone's control that can cause a plant to die.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs. SImply let us know if your plant has died within 1 year of receiving it and we will get you a new one shipped out as soon as possible (depending on the time of the year and availability).

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
