{"product_id":"catwalk-queen-catmint-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Catwalk Queen Catmint - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatwalk Queen is a low catmint whose lilac-blue blooms are over double the size of an ordinary catmint flower. Long flower panicles keep the plant in bloom for an extended stretch before it needs a trim.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThick leaves on a stocky, sturdy frame keep it tidy at 10 to 12 inches tall. Use it to line the front of a sunny border or fill hot, dry spots where other plants struggle. Deer and rabbits leave it alone, and bees and butterflies are frequent visitors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLarge, tubular, two-lipped flowers in soft lilac-blue, noticeably bigger than those of most catmints, are arranged in long, open panicles along the stems. The leaves are small to medium, oval, gray-green, thick-textured and scalloped at the edges. The plant forms a stocky, low mound about 10 to 12 inches tall and 18 to 20 inches wide. At peak bloom the long flower panicles cover the mound in lilac-blue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eGrowing it with lavender\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eCatmint is one of lavender's best partners: it wants the same full sun and lean, well-drained soil, and its lilac-blue haze blooms alongside lavender and keeps going after the lavender harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003ePlant in full sun in lean to average, well-drained soil; once established it handles dry spells with little extra water. Hardy in zones 3-8. Shear the plant back by about a third after the first big flush of bloom to tidy it and push a fresh round of flowers.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBotanical name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nepeta\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lavender-blue\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFoliage:\u003c\/strong\u003e Gray-green\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stocky, low mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 in tall × 18–20 in wide\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA hardiness zones:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3–8\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLight:\u003c\/strong\u003e full sun\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom start:\u003c\/strong\u003e Early-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePeak bloom:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-June\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBloom pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long Blooming\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeer resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePollinator value:\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSizes and shipping\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne full 72-cell plug tray: 72 young starter plugs of this variety (cells about 1⅓ in. wide × 2½ in. deep), rooted and ready to pot up into quarts or gallons.
