Clinopodium Species, Lesser Calamint

I live in Kitchener, ON, Canada - zone 5.
I have clay soil, that has been amended somewhat.
About 3 years ago I planted Cal...Read Moreamint 'Blue Cloud' in a sunny location with late afternoon shade.
It definitely needs a bit of space, but at this point does not seem in any way invasive, nor did it self seed.
I have now transplanted it to another spot in my garden, which will give it a bit more room to grow with no other plants around it.
I cut the calamint back in the late winter/early spring of this year. The plant is now about 3'X3', but the roots themselves only take up about 18"X18". I'm pretty sure I could have trimmed it again in July, but I knew I would be transplanting it, and I didn't want to over-stress the plant.
I think it's a nice plant with an airy, billowy look.
It would look really nice with pink roses or peonies.
It flowers all summer long.
It attracts more pollinators and a greater variety of pollinators than my catmint.
I am reluctant to divide it, because I haven't seen it being sold anywhere anymore - and I would hate to lose it.
At the same time I wonder if there is some reason (that I don't know about) that garden centres aren't selling it and that makes me a bit nervous.
At this point in time I think it's a great plant :)

I live in zone 7 in Md on Eastern shore and Calamintha nepeta grows like a groundcover in my yard. It is successful in full shade and su...Read Moren. It blooms all summer. It stays around 6-10 inches until it send up spikes with blooms which are no more than 10-12 inches high for me so I consider it a groundcover. It is very fragrant with a pleasant minty, cap nip type of smell. It spreads readily being hardy and probably spreads by tiny seeds also. I do not consider it a nuisance because if they pop up where you don't want them it is very easy to just pull them out, pot them up and share with friends.

Clouds of tiny blooms nonstop all summer. The flowers are a very pale skim-milk blue approaching white, though there are also pure white-...Read Moreflowered cultivars. The flowers are very attractive to beneficial pollinators though some are wasps.

It gives off a delightful minty fragrance when brushed against.

Attractive, adaptable, drought tolerant. Does best in full sun with well-drained soil, but I've also seen it bloom well in part shade.

This does not spread vegetatively, but I've found it to self-sow a little too freely in the garden. It isn't invasive of wild areas in N. America.

Does not do well in the hot summers south of Z7 in eastern N. America. Armitage says it's hardy to Z4.

About 3 years ago, I planted one of these in a garden otherwise filled with ornamental sages, lavenders, germander, achillea, catmint, ag...Read Moreastache, and the like. We have clay soil amended annually with a bit of humus from the garden store. This minty plant thrives with lots of sun, little to no water, and DC-area heat and humidity. It is very attractive, complements the other plans perfectly, grows well without overgrowing, and smells nice and minty. I'll be planting some more for next season.
