Common name variegated calamint, wild basil Family lamiaceae Life cycle perennial (Z4-9) Flowers pink (summer) Size 12-18" Light part shade Cultural notes average garden soil Leaves are pale green with white marbling, with pink flowers on flowering stems that rise just above the clump of foliage. Has a tendency to revert to all-green, so remove stems that don't show the variegation.

We left this plant behind in our Pennsylvania garden (and wish it well); we don't grow it in Houston.
