Cait's Garden

Ah, Catmint. How do I love thee, let me count the ways…. If I could have just one perennial in my yard, Nepeta “Walker’s Low” might be it. It forms perfect mounds of fragrant, silvery green foliage topped by plentiful lavender flowers. Deadhead after the long bloom cycle and it will flower till frost. They love sun but do fine in part-shade, they are not fussy about water, they don’t get diseases, you can divide them easily, and they are very hardy.  Just note that not all varieties of Nepeta bloom all season long.  Look for “Walker’s Low”  for repeat blooms and outstanding foliage.
