Another pretty Catmint! Bright blue with hints of pink 1.5” flowers in clusters atop 18” stems most of the summer…upright clumps spreading 18-24”; Aromatic, olive green, serrated leaves are handsome for this genus. Prefers full sun, average to well drained soils and summer moisture. Lovely in the rock garden, border and the herb garden too! Shear after bloom to extend bloom season. USDA Z4 3” pot
