Growing Information

This hardy perennial thrives in well-drained soil and prefers full sun to partial shade. Catmint is drought-tolerant once established, making it a low-maintenance choice for gardeners. Its fragrant leaves release a pleasant scent, which can also deter certain pests.

Uses in the Garden

Catmint works well as a border plant, in rock gardens, or as a filler in perennial beds. Its long blooming period, from late spring to early fall, ensures that your garden remains vibrant throughout the growing season. Additionally, the foliage can be used in herbal teas or as an aromatic addition to potpourri.

Care Tips

Regular deadheading will encourage more blooms and prevent the plant from becoming leggy. Pruning back in early spring will promote new growth and enhance the plant’s overall health.
