Calamint

Calamint

Clinopodium arkansanum

Its tiny, mint-scented leaves release fragrance when touched, and its lavender-pink flowers bloom for months in dry, rocky soils where most wildflowers fail.

  • Low-growing, mat-forming groundcover suited to alvar, rock gardens, and dry open sites
  • Blooms from June through August in extremely dry, rocky conditions
  • Highly attractive to native bees throughout its extended bloom period
  • One of the most drought-tolerant native wildflowers available
