Nepeta subsessilis

Nepeta seems to be adaptable to sun, shade, or boggy conditions and will spread quickly as a ground cover. Its deep blue flowers are loved by butterflies, birds and bees. This one truly makes a statement. Deep blue flowers appear between July and September.

Nepeta are ornamental herbs with long-blooming, lavender-blue flower spikes. The shorter varieties resemble a vigorous English lavender. Foliage is scalloped and gray-green, helping them to blend well in any garden. Can be used as informal edging platens. All need good drainage and do best in full sun. Cut back after bloom for a flush of fresh foliage.
