{"product_id":"tall-tails-catmint-72-cell-plug-tray","title":"Tall Tails Catmint - 72-Cell Plug Tray","description":"\u003cp\u003eTall Tails is a large catmint that brings height and structure to a sunny planting, reaching 28 to 32 inches tall and about 3 feet wide. Its upright framework is noticeably stiffer than older tall catmints, so it holds its shape better.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSoft lilac-blue flowers open early in the season and continue for a long stretch, giving pollinators an early source of nectar. It is drought tolerant, easy to grow and deer and rabbit resistant, and it works well filling the middle of a border or anchoring a mass planting.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat it looks like\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eLong, upright spikes of small, tubular, two-lipped flowers in soft lilac-blue rise from sturdy, branching stems, held in dusky purple calyxes. The leaves are small, oval to heart-shaped, gray-green and scalloped. The plant forms a large, upright-rounded clump about 28 to 32 inches tall and 36 to 40 inches wide with stems that stay fairly rigid. At peak bloom the tall spikes create a broad, soft blue-violet cloud.\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 soft blue-violet 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 × faassenii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlower color:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft 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 Large, upright-rounded clump\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMature size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 28–32 in tall × 36–40 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.
