Walker's Low Catmint
Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low'
Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Member of the mint family. Despite its name it is not low-growing. Stunning dark lavender blue flowers provide great spring interest. If dead-headed or sheared will flower again in late-summer. Clumps of gray-green fragrant foliage provide attraction when not in bloom. This variety does not reseed.
Maintenance:
Maintenance Type: Perennial - Herbaceous
Plant Care: Perennial - Herbaceous (soft-stemmed plants that die back in winter and regrow in spring): Remove spent blooms to promote rebloom later. Some plants tend to flop over after the first bloom and attempt to regrow from the base; in these cases, the old stems can be cut away in summer. As plants become dormant in the fall, remove dead leaves and stems.
