Nepeta (Catmint)
×
Color Name: Picture Purrfect
Picture Purrfect Nepeta will be the cat's meow in your garden with its solid performance in a cute little package. Picture Purrfect features a tight, round mound of aromatic foliage with large blue and periwinkle flowers that bloom earlier than other Nepeta varieties. Ideal for containers on your porch, edging a sunny border, or filling in small, empty spaces in the garden. The flowers are noticeably larger and a bluer toner than average.
When Nepeta's stems are broken, they release an aroma into the air that tends to attract cats, thus its common name, Catmint.
Growing Tips: Nepetas are easy to grow perennials that provide a beautiful show of color all summer long. They prefer to be planted in full sun and ordinary, well-drained soil. Shearing the plant back in the springtime will promote more compact growth. In addition, cutting plants back by half after their first bloom tends to stimulate a second bloom cycle.
