Junior Walker Catmint is a compact form of catmint, smaller and denser than older types, which stays full and upright for the whole season. It has lovely gray-green leaves that bring a neutral color to your beds, tying them together visually. The bright blue flowers are produced continuously from May to September, giving a unique and splendid look in the foreground of your beds, on slopes, at the top of walls, or spilling out of planter boxes. It’s perfect for season-long color in low-water gardens, and thrives in poor soil, dryness and sun. Pollinators, butterflies and hummingbirds are attracted to the flowers.
- Dense mound of gray-green leaves and blue flowers
- Blooms from May to September
- Stays compact and dense for the whole season
- Easily grown, even in hot and dry places
- Perfect foreground to unify your plantings
Junior Walker Catmint grows best in full sun, and it will grow in almost any well-drained soil, including drier and poorer soils, and in urban gardens. Pests, diseases, deer and rabbits don’t bother it, and it tolerates salt-spray as well. Simply cut down in fall and it will re-sprout in spring, quickly filling in again. One of the simplest and yet most beautiful plants you can grow. The lack of seed production makes it non-invasive and longer blooming.
