Nepeta ‘Cats Pajamas’

2021 Perennial of the year for it’s outstanding qualities. Tidy ball-shaped habit carries long, dark indigo blue flowers. Unlike older varieties that only produce flowers at the top of the stems, this improved Catmint has blooms from the soil to the tips of the stems. Even when the flowers are past peak, the color of the rosy purple calyxes give your garden an additional splash of color. As an added bonus, the small, aromatic leaves strongly repel deer and rabbits. One of the best plants for pollinators. The short stature makes it perfect at the front of the border or to line pathways. Long bloom-time, late spring through fall. When Nepeta’s foliage is crushed it releases an aroma into the air that tends to attract cats, thus its common name, Catmint. It is not invasive like a mint. Ht 14″ Perennial. Zone 3-8
