Description
An extremely aromatic plant: mint scented, the Limestone calamint, enjoys a full sun location and a calcareous substrate. It can be grown at the edge of a border or in the rockery, it adapts well, as long as the site is seasonally moist.
In the wild habitat often grows together with Primula mistassinica, Viola nephrophylla, Lobelia kalmii, Houstonia, to name just a few.
The purple to light lavender flowers are large compared to the size of the plant; they bloom in mid-summer atop thin stems with linear leaves. It spreads by stolons and can also be used as a light ground cover – in the garden with regular moisture may even spread a bit too much.
Germination: warm germinator (if it doesn’t germinate move the pot to cold for a while).
