‘Cat’s Pajamas’ Catmint (Nepeta)

Description

(Catmint) Cute and compact seem to be the flower trend, and with that in mind check out Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’. This ultra compact Nepeta stands only 12-14 inches tall and 18-20 inches wide. Stunning indigo blue flowers emerge up to 3 weeks earlier than ‘Cat’s Meow’ and flower from ‘tip to toe’ creating a full mound of blooms. When the flower has faded color remains! The calyxes glow with a pinkish purple hue, or if you wish, cut the plant back for a wonderful reflush of blooms throughout the season. As with all Nepeta, ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is fragrant and deters the rabbits and deer. Hardy in zones 3-8, Catmint likes to be planted in full sun locations and is drought tolerant. Watch the butterflies, bees, and hummingbirds enjoy the sweet nectar. ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is a great choice for borders, walkways, or planted in mass. If container gardening is your thing, this would be a great selection! Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
