Catmint flower seed is 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. Shearing the plant after the first bloom will encourage more blossoms later in the summer.

Start flower seed indoors near a sunny window 6 weeks before transplanting to the garden after danger of last frost. Or, sow in garden in full sun when frost danger is over and ground is warm. Make shallow furrows and cover seed 1/8" with loose soil. Thin or transplant plants to 20" apart when they are 2 inches tall.

Shaker Bottles With Lime and Seed Mixture We are now offering shaker bottles filled with seeds and lime mixed together. Simply take off the lid and shake your way to a beautiful new groundcover! Lime improves the pH of acidic soils, adds valuable micronutrients to soil, and helps break down organic matter. In addition, lime is white so it is easy to tell where you have spread the seed. Just sprinkle the mixture over good quality soil, and then gently water to keep seed moist until it sprouts!
