Catmint - Nepeta Nervosa

Season: Perennial
Zones: 4 - 9
Height: 12 inches
Bloom Season:Early Summer to Late Summer
Environment: Full Sun - Dry
A fast spreading purple-colored groundcover, this perennial will bloom the first year if sown early in the growing season. Works great as a general cover, accent plant, pathway edger, or rock garden specimen. Like catnip, it attracts cats, and its flowers furnish nectar for hummingbirds. Catmints are not particular about soil, tolerating a wide range of texture and pH. They do however need good drainage and without it will develop crown rot.

Approximately 500 seeds covers 40 square feet.
