With incredibly aromatic foliage and boasting spikes of pale blue flowers from early summer to early autumn, Nepeta x faassenii Kit Cat is a must-have component for any cottage garden. Also known as catmint due to its irresistible effect on our feline friends, the herbaceous perennial draws many bees and other pollinators to the garden.
Easy to grow and mound forming, it only requires a trim after flowering to keep plants compact and to encourage a second flush of flowers. Looks wonderful as an underplanting to roses and works particularly well when planted in drifts. Nepeta x faassenii Kit Cat is a recipient of RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit) for all round excellence.
