Nepeta faassenii Purrsian Blue

1 GALLON POT 

(Catmint)

Zone 4

Full Sun

The many selections of Catmint are well-known workhorses in the perennial garden, providing extended bloom as they knit and weave themselves beautifully through taller companions.

In the first year, ‘Persian Blue’ forms a small, perfectly rounded, densely branched clump of tiny, green leaves. In year two, the plant maintains its compact mounding habit but nearly doubles its spread to just over two feet across. This is a very floriferous selection with flowers spaced closely together. Periwinkle blue flowers are coddled by dark purple calyces just above the aromatic foliage from early summer into early fall.
