Nepeta X Faassenii SylvesterBlue™

With larger flowers and a denser branching structure than other Catmints, Nepeta x faassenii SylvesterBlue™ creates a sea of color with its blue-violet blossoms and lush, gray-green foliage. A cold-hardy, prolific bloomer from early summer until frost, this hardworking Nepeta not only captivates human admirers but draws nectar-seeking pollinators, too. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. Plants perform as beautifully in containers as they do at the front of the border. 'G19213' PP 32,974

Most Nepetas are thrifty plants that prosper in average, well-drained soils, and the majority offer deliciously fragrant, gray-green foliage and numerous spikes of small flowers, generally in the blue to purple range. They are durable, hardy, and pest free. Like Catnip, the best-known member of the genus, Nepetas may send felines into a frenzy.
