catmint

Overview

Catmint (Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low') is an attractive, drought-tolerant flowering perennial suitable for use in gardens and as a ground cover. Its soft gray-green foliage is fragrant when touched and is often accompanied by fragrant lavender-blue flowers, which bloom for months during the growing season. This hardy plant is ideal for use in containers, rock gardens, mass plantings, or along pathways. It is deer resistant, attracts butterflies and hummingbirds, and grows best in partial shade and moist, well-drained soil. Catmint is easy to maintain and is considered to be low maintenance, making it a great choice for both novice and experienced gardeners.
