Description
Nepeta, commonly known as catmint, is a hardy and versatile perennial that adds a splash of color and texture to any garden. The plant features gray-green leaves and produces spikes of lavender-blue flowers from early summer to fall. Nepeta is an excellent choice for attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies to the garden. It grows best in full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. Nepeta pairs well with other perennials like echinacea, salvia, and rudbeckia, which create a colorful and attractive cottage garden look. Alternatively, it can be used as a ground cover or planted in rock gardens for a low-maintenance and visually appealing option.
