Earlier Blooming Catmint

An improved Catmint, the petite and sweet Nepeta Cat’s Pajamas dashes skyward to flaunt countless lavender flowers from soil line to tips. Aptly named, the 1920s saying ‘the cat’s pajamas’ is defined as an excellent person or thing. Blooms 2-3 weeks earlier than classic varieties. Long blooming! As flowers begin to fade, the rosy purple calyxes remain to supply an additional splash of color. Nepeta are ideal for rock gardens, containers, and border fronts. Dependable, long-blooming, deer and rabbit resistant – absolutely trouble-free. One of the best plants to edge a border or underplant a rose bed.

Nepeta General Information

Nepeta are smothered with blossoms in summer. Likes sun and tolerates dry conditions once established. One of the best plants to edge or underplant a rose bed. Cats enjoy it as much as catnip.

Nepeta Plant Care

Prefers dryish, not especially fertile soil. Long blooming, but spent flowers can be sheared off to promote rebloom and/or improve appearance. Cut back by 2/3 in July to promote reblooming in August to end of summer. Cut back in early spring to 4-6". Can be divided every 3 - 4 years in spring.

All potted plant material is restricted from shipping to Idaho

Plantable Pots

Our plants are grown in 3.5x3.5x4” plantable pots. Made from 100% biodegradable coconut husk fibers (coir), these pots have tremendous advantages over plastic pots. With better air exchange, this "breathable" pot fosters robust root growth and reduces transplant shock since you can plant the pots directly in the ground. The pot naturally becomes part of the soil on its own over time—no composting required—and since they're made from a renewable resource that requires very little energy, they're earth-friendly too!
