Nepeta x faassenii Walker’s Low is a much loved perennial with soft lilac blue flowers that appear from late spring and continue right through summer. The aromatic grey green foliage forms a loose, spreading mound that brings gentle movement and a relaxed, natural look to borders. It is ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife friendly planting and sunny mixed borders, where its long flowering season attracts bees and butterflies. Walker’s Low weaves beautifully between other plants, pairing especially well with grasses and soft pastel 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.
