Catmint 'Blue Moon', 'Blue Moon' Catmint
Fast-growing, eye-catching and heat tolerant, Nepeta nervosa ‘Blue Moon’ (Catmint) is a dwarf, compact form of catmint with a low spreading habit and a long blooming season. It produces large, dense, lavender flower spikes on full, bushy plants from early to late summer. Atop the finely textured, aromatic, blue-green foliage, which remains attractive throughout the season, its profuse pale purple flowers will bloom in waves all summer. Ideal for small gardens or containers!
