Quick Search: Catmint - Displayed by Common Name in Ascending Order

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.

Like ‘Cat’s Meow’, this selection shares an improved tidy habit, though it is a bit smaller and more compact in size overall. In its first year, ‘Purrsian Blue’ forms a small, perfectly rounded, densely branched clump of tiny, green leaves. In year two, the plant maintains its compact mounding habit but nearly doubles its spread to just over two feet across.

This is a very floriferous selection whose flower power is amplified by its having its flowers spaced closely together on the stems. Periwinkle blue flowers are coddled by dark purple calyxes just above the aromatic foliage from early summer into early fall.

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

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.

Chartreuse yellow foliage glows for three seasons out of the year! Contrasting clusters of lavender-blue flowers bloom early summer and unlike other Nepeta, this variety will continue to bloom into fall without being cut back.

This selection of Catmint is a sterile dwarf of N. ‘Walker’s Low’ and only reaches approximately 40cm (16 inches) tall. It features blue-green leaves that are highly aromatic when crushed or bruised so an excellent addition planted along a garden path. Small pale lavender flowers are densely clustered and bloom from May to September. Shear back the initial flower spikes for continuous bloom. Attractive to our feline friends.
