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.
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.
