Nepeta 'Neptune' is a stunning perennial that boasts dense clusters of striking, deep lavender-blue flowers. These blooms, which appear in late spring and continue into summer, rise above aromatic, silvery-green foliage, adding both color and fragrance to the garden. 'Neptune' forms a compact, bushy mound, making it perfect for borders, containers, or as an edging plant. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is drought-tolerant once established. This variety attracts pollinators such as bees and butterflies, while its long-lasting flowers make it ideal for cutting and adding color to indoor arrangements. Low-maintenance and versatile, 'Neptune' brings both beauty and practicality to any garden.
