Calamintha nepeta 'Blue Clouds' (lesser calamint 'Blue Cloud') is a member of the Lamiaceae family. This perennial exhibits a clump forming growth habit and is characterized by its semi evergreen foliage. It has a hardiness rating of hardy – average winter (-10 to -5ºc) and is hardy through most of the UK apart from inland valleys, at altitude and central / northerly locations.
