Bluestone Perennials Nepeta Cat's Pajamas

This variety is specifically bred for a more compact, mounded habit and earlier bloom time. Unlike taller catmints that can flop over, it stays neat and dense, with flowers covering the plant from the soil line up.

Yes, it is highly resistant to browsing by deer and rabbits. While no plant is 100% immune if animals are desperate, the aromatic foliage of this catmint is generally unappealing to them.

It provides a long season of color, but to ensure it keeps blooming through the summer, you should shear the plant back once the first flush of flowers fades. This encourages a fresh round of growth and blooms.

It is an excellent choice for containers. Its compact, 12-14 inch height makes it perfect for pots, provided you use a well-draining potting mix and place it in a spot that receives full sun.

These pots are designed to be planted directly into the ground or your container. This minimizes root disturbance, which helps the plant establish itself faster and reduces transplant shock.

Once established, it is quite drought-tolerant and prefers to be on the drier side. You will only need to water it occasionally during extended dry spells.
