Catmint is also know as Nepeta and is a scented and beautiful perennial that is as well loved by gardeners as by cats. It is easy to propagate. If it is trimmed, you can often get a second bloom. (Family: Lamiaceae)
This reliable perennial can be a pretty ornamental plant that, if started in the spring indoors, will form a thick mat with lavender-blue flower spikes against greyish foliage in May to June. Great for edging and alpine gardens. It does not drive most cats to distraction. Attracts beneficial insects.
