Space Saving Vibrant Color
The vivid, lemon-yellow foliage of Nepeta Lemon Purrfection maintains its vibrant color throughout the season, bringing your outdoor space to life. The fragrant, lavender-blue flowers bloom continuously from midsummer to fall with no cutting back needed. This tidy, easy-to-grow perennial fits seamlessly into any sunny garden space or container. In shadier areas, the leaves can take on a captivating chartreuse hue. The delightful, minty scent of the foliage earned it the charming nickname of Catmint. Enjoy both the flowers and foliage in fresh and dried flower arrangements, adding unique touches to your décor.

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!

We offer a 100% guarantee for all our perennials to reach you in good condition and to grow. If you're not satisfied, we'll reship or refund immediately. Please don't hesitate to contact us if you have questions or concerns—we share your passion for gardening and want your new plants to thrive in your border!
