Lovely low mounds of silvery green foliage topped by an almost continuous supply of blue-purple flowers all summer long. The plants have a clean habit with little maintenance required. Use at the front of borders, as a groundcover, on slopes, in the rock garden or containers. Drought tolerant once established. Nepeta can be sheared heavily and will reflush with new foliage and flowers.
