The story

Catmint that minds its manners.

A tight, low mound of gray-green aromatic leaves under a haze of blue-violet flowers from late spring on. It stays compact instead of splaying open in midsummer like the big catmints.

Light

Full sun for the best bloom; it tolerates light afternoon shade.

Water

Water weekly the first season. Established plants handle drought.

Planting

Plant in spring or early fall, crown at soil level.

Months of blue, almost no work, and a size that suits small spaces.
