Lilac-blue flowers appear early in the season and keep coming without the plant needing to be cut back.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt forms a dense, polished mound about 10 to 12 inches tall, ideal for edging, containers and the front of the border. In partial shade the leaves shift toward chartreuse. Like other catmints, it is avoided by deer and rabbits and visited by bees and butterflies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLeaves are small, oval to heart-shaped and scalloped, in a clear golden yellow that stays bright through summer. Short spikes of small, tubular lilac-blue flowers rise just above the foliage. The plant forms a dense, compact mound about 10 to 12 inches tall and 16 to 18 inches wide. At peak bloom the blue-violet flowers make a soft layer over a solid dome of gold leaves.\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 and water only during long dry spells once established. Hardy in zones 3-8. It keeps flowering without being cut back, though a light trim in midsummer will neaten the mound.\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 Golden yellow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrowth habit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dense, compact mound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10–12 in tall × 16–18 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\u003eDormant bare-root plant, sold in boxes of 25 per variety (order in multiples of 25).
