$8.49
This neat, ornamental, and nicely minty-aromatic native perennial is largely unknown to the horticulture sphere....
Clinopodium arkansanum reminds of thyme or a low-growing oregano, as it forms a very dense, ground-covering mat of evergreen leaves that slowly spreads wide, with slender airy flowering stems that bear pink-purple to white flowers in mid through late summer.
Great showy, smaller perennial for the edges of drier flower beds, rock gardens, drier open woodlands, native plant areas, pollinator gardens or butterfly gardens.
Other names are wild savory, Ozark calamint, and Arkansas mint.
Picture copyright : US Perennials nursery
Blooming Time: June to July, with continuous sporadic flowers until the fall
Size: 0.5-1' high and wide
USDA Zones: 4 to 8
Culture: full sun, half shade, drained soils, sandy soils, gravelly or shallow, rocky soils, grows well in average garden soil that is amended with sand
Moisture Needs: average/medium to dry
Origin: this native wildflower occurs in a wide diagonal line across the USA, starting in New Mexico and Texas up to the North East coast into Ontario (see the USDA distribution map)
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / offers pollen and nectar to bees, who are the main pollinators
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" perennial pot

Limestone Calamint
This plant is so great. It is perfect for the foot of the border, to cover the feet of taller native perennials. The fine leaves look very elegant. It is already showing green in March for the second year .
