Anemone (Japanese)Anemone hupehensis var. japonica
Curtain Call™ Deep Rose

Truly the “cat’s meow”, the best Nepeta we’ve seen yet! Unlike most Nepetas that have a bit of a wild, unkempt look, this first class selection keeps its tidy, dense, rounded shape all season long.

Its small, grey-green, aromatic leaves are topped with well-branched stems carrying spikes of sky blue flowers with purple calyxes from early summer into early fall.

‘Cat’s Meow’ has everything today’s gardeners are looking for: a low maintenance, drought tolerant, deer resistant, long blooming perennial that looks great all season.

Gray-green, aromatic foliage gives way to a plethora of soft lavender-blue flowers which are produced over a long period in summer. Although the stems are 2-3’ long, the plant's arching habit brings the height down to 18 to 24 inches if it is not staked.

Cat’s Pajamas
Click to display
A purr-fect Catmint for fans of ‘Cat's Meow’ who love the look but want a smaller scale version. In addition to being a little over half the height, ‘Cats Pajamas’ also blooms about 2-3 weeks earlier than ‘Cat's Meow’. The ball-shaped habit carries long, dark flower stems that hold indigo blue flowers. Unlike older varieties that only produce flowers at the top of the stems, this improved Catmint has blooms from the soil to the tips of the stems. Even when the flowers are past peak, the color of the rosy purple calyxes give your garden an additional splash of color. As an added bonus, the small, aromatic leaves keep deer and rabbits away. Try this shorter stature plant in city gardens or near the front of the border.

Pure white flowers with a golden yellow cone measured 3-4” across with wide, overlapping, reflexed petals. From early through late summer, the flowers are produced prolifically on stiff, well-branched stems. More branches result in more flowers per plant and a showier display in the landscape.

This first year flowering perennial reportedly keeps on blooming without having to be deadheaded, though you may still want to trim back spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance.

According to PanAm Seed, their PowWow Echinaceas are more floriferous, faster to flower, and genetically shorter than other seed grown varieties.

PowWow™ Wild Berry
Click to display
This variety is incredibly impressive for a seed grown Echinacea. It’s no surprise that it is a 2010 All America Selections winner. This first year flowering perennial reportedly keeps on blooming without having to be deadheaded, though you may still want to trim back spent flowers to maintain a tidy appearance.

In plant trial gardens, it was noted how floriferous the plants were. Each stocky, relatively short plant carried a bouquet of fragrant, 3-4”, deep purple-pink to near-magenta flowers on stiff, branched stems. More branches result in more flowers per plant and a showier display in the landscape. It was noted that the older flowers were nearly the same magenta color as the new flowers; the flowers held their bright coloration very well as they aged.
