Nepeta Picture Purrfect #1

Common Name: Catmint

A new must-have for landscapers! ‘Picture Purrfect’ has a similar compact height to ‘Kitten Around’ but has a much broader habit and blooms about two weeks earlier, depending on temperature. Compared to the Nepeta faassenii varieties, the blue purple flowers are noticeably larger and a bluer toner than average. A perfect choice for the front of the border.

When Nepeta’s stems are broken, they release an aroma into the air that tends to attract cats, thus its common name, Catmint.
