What's new at Woodlanders

Clinopodium coccineum scarlet calamint in bloom, red flowers attractive to hummingbirds

New this month

The scrub mint restock

Six aromatic natives of the sandhills and the Florida scrub are back on the list: scarlet calamint and the amber-flowered form, Georgia savory, the peppermint hybrid 'Desi Arnez', wild pennyroyal in quarts, and, for South Carolina gardeners, Cumberland rosemary. They want full sun, fast-draining sand, and no kindness in the form of compost.
