Nepeta 'Serene Wild Orchid', 2L
A striking hybrid catmint forming a neat mound of aromatic foliage, with spikes of pink flowers, which are speckled, almost like a tiny orchid (hence the name), and held in dark calyces. A long-flowering alternative to lavender, it forms a beautiful haze of colour in the garden, irresistible to bees and other pollinators.
