Calamintha nepetoides is a perennial herb with a minty, aromatic scent and summer flowers. It suits well-drained, sandy or loamy soils of neutral to alkaline reaction and prefers full sun to partial shade. Flowering runs from July to September. Use it where its scent and late-summer flowers can be appreciated, such as rock gardens, herb plots and the front of borders.

Lesser calamint (Calamintha nepetoides) is a minty perennial that flowers July to September and suits south-facing rock, herb and border sites.
