Nepeta subsessilis 'Candy Cat'
Catmint
Clusters of lavender-pink, trumpet-like flowers bloom in early summer. Much larger flowers than other catmints, this is a trouble-free, dependable performer. The minty scented foliage deters deer but attracts pollinators and cats. Plant in full sun in well draining soil. Shear for continuous blooms. (Perennial)
