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

Another of Ma Natures' s great combinations!: clear pink trumpets with deep-burgundy bracts on 18" stems make this Japanese woodland/coastal cliff dweller a beauty; deadhead for re-bloom. Sun-PSh/Med(not dry)
