Plant Details:
Plant Type: Perennial
Plant Family: Lamiaceae
Plant Description: Compact and long-blooming member of the mint family. Covered with blue blossoms starting in late spring and will rebloom in the late-summer if deadheaded promptly. The fragrant gray-green foliage is attractive and will provide interest even out of bloom. This variety is sterile and so is not as aggressive as other catmints. A great choice for any xeriscape.
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.
