    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    New catmint with an even higher reblooming record! 12” tall mounding to 24” wide, compact, highly branched growth…3-4” flower spikes of lavender blue blooms all summer. Shearing after the first bloom speeds the process. Full sun, well drained soils are best, pots, rock garden…deer resistant. Great bee plant! USDA Z4
