Cat’s Pajamas Catmint  

Nepeta hybrid 'Cat’s Pajamas'

A smaller-scale Catmint perfect for smaller garden spaces, 'Cat's Pajamas' forms a rounded mound of long and dark flower stems that bloom from the soil line all the way to the tips of stems! The lavender-blue flowers are densely packed along the stems and appear earlier than other catmints beginning in late spring to early summer and continuing to late summer or early fall. When the flowers have gone past peak the rose-purple calyxes remain for continued color. You might be happy to know that deer and rabbits turn there nose up to catmint but the butterflies, hummingbirds and other beneficial pollinators will thank you for planting this one!

When the stems of catmint plants are broken they release an aroma that attract cats, hence the name.
