Collection: Calamintha nepeta Marvelettes | Lesser calamint

Discover the charm and reliability of Calamintha nepeta ‘Marvelettes’, a compact, bushy perennial that brings fragrance, colour, and long-lasting performance to any garden. Growing up to 30 cm tall, it forms a tidy mound of aromatic, grey-green leaves topped with masses of small purple-blue flowers from July all the way through September.

The Marvelettes Series—including Marvelette Blue and Marvelette White—offers exceptional garden value. These varieties are first-year-flowering, winter-hardy, and highly floriferous, producing blooms within just 12 weeks from a spring sowing. Their extended flowering period, strong scent, and pollinator-friendly nature make them a favourite for cottage gardens, herb gardens, borders, and container plantings.

As both a culinary and ornamental herb, Calamintha is incredibly versatile. Its refreshing mint-like aroma attracts bees and butterflies while providing a beautiful, cloud-like display of delicate blossoms throughout summer.
