Nepta, commonly called Catmint, is a hardy perennial that brightens gardens with soft spikes of lavender-blue flowers and fragrant grey-green leaves. It blooms for a long period from late spring through summer, creating a colorful display that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Its low, spreading habit makes it an excellent choice for borders, pathways, rock gardens, and cottage-style landscapes. Catmint is easy to grow, drought-tolerant once established, and thrives with minimal maintenance. It prefers full sun and well-drained soil for the best flowering. USDA Hardiness Zones 3-8, returning each year reliably.
