Nepeta grandiflora Dawn to Dusk is a soft, airy perennial with pale pink to lilac flowers that appear from early to midsummer. The loose, upright stems carry delicate blooms above aromatic green foliage, adding gentle movement and a relaxed feel to borders. It is ideal for cottage gardens, naturalistic planting and wildlife friendly areas, where its nectar rich flowers attract bees and pollinators. Dawn to Dusk blends beautifully with grasses and other light, flowing perennials and returns reliably each year.

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.
