Calamintha nepeta ssp. nepeta 'White Cloud Strain'
A white-flowered form of calamint with a slightly looser, more open habit than the species. Flowering steadily from mid-summer into autumn, it maintains the same long season of bloom while tolerating a little shade. Light self-seeding can occur, but the plant remains easy to live with and effective at the front of the border or in mixed plantings.
