Bees were drawn in high numbers to the plants' continuous flushes of flowers. Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta The Perennial Plant Association (PPA) named Calamintha nepeta subsp. nepeta as the 2021 Perennial Plant of the Year. Calamintha looks like a cloud of confetti, with tiny white flowers (sometimes touched with pale blue) that appear from early summer to fall on this plant. Bees and other pollinators work the flowers throughout the summer. Circle 112 20 | LAWN & GARDEN RETAILER | FEBRUARY 2021
