This week's Plant Post features: Catmint (Nepeta), a perennial herb from the mint family prized for its aromatic foliage and medicinal properties. Thriving in sunny, well-drained areas, this resilient plant blooms with lavender-blue flowers that attract pollinators. Catmint is favored in gardens for its low maintenance and pest-repelling qualities. Varieties such as Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low' and Nepeta x faassenii add ornamental value. Ideal for companion planting, occasional pruning ensures its optimal growth.
Love this one! Makes a great container plant and bees love it! 🐝🐝
