Insights
Traditionally beloved of Cats, this Nepeta is also a wonderful boon for all forms of pollinating insects and will attract many welcome visitors. Because of its low habit, it makes excellent ground cover at the front of a border or beside paths because the foliage is aromatic if brushed past or crushed underfoot.
