Limestone Calamint is a small native with a big personality. Compact, mounding plants are covered in clouds of tiny pale purple (almost white) tubular flowers from late spring through early summer, drawing in clouds of butterflies, native bees, and other beneficial pollinators. Brush against the aromatic foliage and you'll catch a fresh, minty fragrance that scents the air all season long.
A member of the mint family with the manners of a perennial, Limestone Calamint stays neatly in its 6-12 inch footprint without running. It's native to the central United States, where it grows naturally in rocky, alkaline soils, making it an ideal choice for rock gardens, gravel gardens, border edges, and small sunny pockets where many other plants struggle. The aromatic leaves are a delightful bonus that keeps deer and rabbits browsing elsewhere.
Drought-tolerant, low-fertility tolerant, and absolutely undemanding once established, Limestone Calamint is the kind of plant you tuck in and forget about (until you walk past and inhale). Pair it with little bluestem, native sedums, or coneflower for a tough, pollinator-friendly combination that thrives on neglect.
Also known as wild savory, Ozark calamint and Arkansas mint.
