Blooming for several weeks in spring, it also sports attractive, almost needlelike foliage for the rest of the year. The slightly domed pure white blossoms completely smother the plant, attracting butterflies aplenty. Be sure to deadhead and prune the foliage back into a mounded shape when the flowers finish their display; this is a must to keep it tidy. The foliage will stay evergreen even if snow-covered in winter. If \u2018Purity\u2019 gets tattered due to desiccation, any brown dehydrated tops won\u2019t bloom, so consider a light winter cover of evergreen boughs in windswept sites. This candytuft was selected for its compactness, large flowers, and profuse bloom. It\u2019s also rabbit and deer resistant.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_221451\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-221451\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-221451\" src=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01152019\/FG225RGMW1-Calamintha_nepeta_Montrose_White_NancyJOndra_2.jpg\" alt=\"Montrose Calamintha Nepeta habit\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01152019\/FG225RGMW1-Calamintha_nepeta_Montrose_White_NancyJOndra_2.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01152019\/FG225RGMW1-Calamintha_nepeta_Montrose_White_NancyJOndra_2-700x1050.jpg 700w, https:\/\/images.finegardening.com\/app\/uploads\/2025\/10\/01152019\/FG225RGMW1-Calamintha_nepeta_Montrose_White_NancyJOndra_2-768x1152.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-221451\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><em>Photo by Nancy J.

The star turn really occurs when \u2018Montrose White\u2019 steps forward with its top-to-bottom froth of delicate two-lipped white flowers that last from June until late October. I don\u2019t want to oversell here, but mine was still in full-tilt flower when I cut it back in early November this year. And this calamint is never without bees, wasps, moths, and butterflies hovering over it. I purposely avoid giving my plants supplemental water during drought and they haven\u2019t been phased. Cooler fall weather often causes the flowers to tint blue.

Deadhead the first flush of blooms once they\u2019re finished, and lower lateral flowers will emerge to keep the performance going. The foliage is pointed and seemingly thicker and darker green than most garden phlox, creating an asset in its own right. \u2018Thai Pink Jade\u2019 is also a marvelous cut flower.

It\u2019s a tidy little number with a dwarf habit and (yes, you guessed correctly) candle-like spikes of deep rosy-pink flowers that go on all summer, especially if you\u2019re conscientious about deadheading. Its foliage is a deep, glossy green and serrated. This long-blooming perennial prefers an organically enhanced soil and supplemental moisture during drought. Bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds will be frequent visitors to your new addition\u2014deer and rabbits, not so much. It\u2019s useful for low front-of-the-border edging and staggered odd-numbered groupings, or even tucked in mixed containers.
