Care & watering
Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta prefers well-drained soil and full sun to light shade. Water regularly while establishing, then water when the topsoil dries. Avoid soggy roots; it tolerates drought once mature.
Maintenance
Light pruning after flowering keeps a compact, vigorous plant. Remove spent blooms and dead stems to encourage new growth. In cold climates mulch lightly to protect roots.

Plant in a sunny border, herb garden, or container. It suits Mediterranean-inspired borders and wind-sheltered spots with good air circulation.
