Montrose White Calamint (Calamintha nepeta 'Montrose White')
kal-ah-MIN-thah nepeta 'Montrose White'

Deciduous Perennial Mounded in the Lamiaceae Family
Enjoy a garden filled with nonstop blooms! With its charming mounding habit and softly mint-scented leaves, Montrose White Calamint showcases stunning large spires of white flowers that are sure to impress.

Calamintha nepeta 'Montrose White' is a delightful, low-growing perennial notable for its long-blooming, white flowers and aromatic foliage. Part of the Calamint family, this compact cultivar forms tidy, mat-forming mounds typically reaching 12-18 inches tall and wide. In mid-to-late summer, the plant is blanketed with an abundance of small, white, tubular flowers that attract pollinators like bees and butterflies. The rounded, slightly hairy leaves emit a refreshing, minty fragrance when brushed or crushed. Adaptable to a range of well-drained soil types, 'Montrose White' thrives in full sun to partial shade and is drought-tolerant once established. Its tidy habit and prolific blooms make it an excellent choice for edging, ground cover, rock gardens, or spilling over the edges of containers. The long-lasting flowers and pleasant scent also allow this cultivar to be effectively used in cutting gardens or as a fragrant addition to mixed perennial borders.

Limited Availability

We try very hard to source exactly what you’d like, but sometimes growers run out of plants! While this variety is a great deal at the price shown, we know that it has limited availability. If you want the plant even if it might be more expensive, or in a different size or quantity -- after you place your order, just send us a quick note at help@northshoreplantclub.com. Then, we’ll try to get you some version of this from one of our growers. And if we can’t get it from anywhere, of course, we’ll send a refund!


Field-Grown vs. Greenhouse-Grown Plants

Plants which are well-adapted to our local climate are most often field-grown (outside). Field-grown plants are generally cheaper and have the advantage of already somewhat acclimated to our cold winters, but that means they’re not artificially far along in the spring and tend to bloom at the normal time in our area.

Spring annuals and tender perennials are typically grown in Greenhouses so they can be ready and luxurious exactly when customers want them. Some perennials are also “forced” into early bloom in greenhouses. In May, there can be a very big difference between field-grown and greenhouse-grown plants of the same type. The latter typically look good right away (so they’re a great choice where that’s important), but we typically pay a premium for it.

We order from a rotating cast of the best nurseries in the Great Lakes region. It looks like we've offered this plant in the past, but the nurseries we're working with this week don't appear to have it in stock at the moment.

Our goal is to bring as many plants together under "one roof" as possible, so we'll try hard to make it available again in the future!
