Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’

Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’: The gray-green foliage is highly aromatic. Cats won’t bother this delightful Catmint, but everyone else in the garden simply won’t be able to leave it alone! The foliage (a soft gray-green, very pleasing) is highly aromatic, while the large lavender-blue blossoms, topping the leaves on tall, crowded stakes, arise heavily from late spring through midsummer, then reappear for a second heavy bloom in autumn.

When not in bloom, Walker’s Low is just 10 inches high, a compact and very attractive plant. Cut it back several times during its first bloom season for a denser, bushier growth and quicker reflowering. Resistant to drought and highly adaptable to a range of garden conditions, it is an all-star in any sunny setting, regaling you season after season with unbeatable color and scent. No wonder it was named 2007 Perennial Plant of the Year! Zones 5-9.
