Select Blue Nepeta

It blooms from late spring through summer, but you need to deadhead the spent flowers to encourage that continuous re-bloom. If you don't trim it back, the plant will likely stop flowering after its initial flush.

No. Because Select Blue is a sterile hybrid, it does not produce viable seeds and will not reseed or become invasive in your garden beds. It stays contained to its mounding habit.

Yes, the fragrant foliage is generally unappealing to deer and rabbits, making it a reliable choice for gardens where these animals are common. While no plant is 100% immune, it is highly effective as a deterrent.

It grows beautifully in containers. Its mounding habit and drought tolerance make it an excellent choice for pots, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and place it in a sunny spot.

It is very adaptable and thrives in sandy, clay, or average garden soils as long as they are well-drained. It does not like to sit in soggy, waterlogged ground.

For the best flowering and growth, plant it in a location that receives full sun to partial sun. While it can handle some shade, it will be most vibrant and compact with at least six hours of direct sunlight.
