Catmint

• A bushy perennial that grows about 2 feet tall and wide.

• Produces purple flowers that bloom first in late spring then sporadically until frost.

• Flowers are popular with generalist pollinators.

• Native to Iran.

• Horticulturist’s Notes: Sheer catmint back after its first flowers fade to create a tidier clump and encourage more blooms.
