Nepeta x faassenii Six Hills Giant is a classic, long flowering perennial with soft lilac blue flowers that appear from early summer and continue well into autumn. The aromatic grey green foliage forms a spreading mound that brings gentle movement and a relaxed, naturalistic feel to borders. It is ideal for cottage gardens, pollinator friendly planting and sunny mixed borders, where its nectar rich blooms attract bees and butterflies throughout the season. Six Hills Giant is reliable, easy to grow and blends beautifully with roses, grasses and other light, flowing perennials.

This plant is supplied as a young perennial plug around 3 to 5 cm in size. These smaller plants grow on quickly once planted and usually take around eight to twelve weeks to reach the size of a typical 9 cm growers pot. When your young plant arrives, unpack it straight away, water gently, and place it in a bright, sheltered spot for a short time while it settles. Plant out or pot on as soon as possible, keeping the soil moist while the roots establish. Once settled, it will grow into a healthy, long lasting perennial for your garden.
