Catmint


Catmint
Nepeta x faassenii 'Walker's Low'

Perennial

Size:
Height 12-20”
Spacing 18”

Sun: Full sun moderate shade
Water: Xeric but can handle some moisture
Landscape Use: Mid Spring/early summer
                        bloom and  sporadically until fall
                        if you trim..

Comments: Color mid summer, nice foliage,
                    Does not attract cats and is NOT in
                    the mint family so does not spread
                    and overtake. Will attract bees along
                    with butterflies when in flower.

Maintenance: Cut back after spring bloom, then
                    again in fall.

Maximum elevation:  8000 ft.


Rumored deer resistant.
