Nepeta x faassenii Snowflake is a soft, airy perennial with delicate white flowers that appear from early summer into autumn. The blooms sit above aromatic grey green foliage, bringing a fresh, light feel to borders while adding gentle movement in the breeze. Snowflake is ideal for cottage gardens, naturalistic planting, gravel gardens and pollinator friendly spaces, where its long flowering season attracts bees and butterflies. Its compact, spreading habit makes it perfect for edging paths, softening border fronts and blending with soft pastels or grasses.

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.
