Nepeta (Catmint) is a must-have perennial for any garden, offering a long flowering period, aromatic foliage, and a naturally soft, flowing habit. Its spikes of lavender-blue flowers bloom from late spring well into autumn, attracting bees and butterflies while requiring minimal upkeep.
Thriving in well-drained soil and full sun, Nepeta is a perfect companion for Roses, where its billowing form softens the edges of borders and helps deter aphids. It also pairs beautifully with Salvia, Lavender, and Echinacea, creating harmonious, drought-tolerant planting schemes with continuous colour and texture.
Ideal for cottage gardens, wildlife-friendly spaces, or contemporary borders, Nepeta is a resilient, reliable choice that brings effortless charm to any setting.
