Catmint or catnip is an easy to grow and care for plant that sprouts lovely purple flowers in the spring. The name Walker's Low comes from the slight weeping habit that this plant has with 2 to 3 foot stems arching down to 18 to 20 inches. The plant has a nice aromatic scent that cats actually do love. For those looking for an easy to grow perennial that yields good color through late spring and summer nepeta is an excellent choice.

Catmint - Walker's Low - Nepeta
Beloved because they are easy to grow these perennials will provide a great show of purple color for a long period during the summer. They prefer full sun and will do best in ordinary, but well-drained soil. Cutting the plants back in the spring will promote more compact growth and cutting the entire plant back by half after the first blooms will often stimulate a second bloom.
