Catmint
Nepeta × faassenii
Catmint is the ultimate edge plant — billowing mounds of silvery-green foliage covered in lavender-blue flowers for months. 'Walker's Low' (Perennial of the Year) creates a soft, fragrant cloud along paths and borders. It's deer-proof, drought-proof, and blooms non-stop from late spring through fall if you shear it once after the first flush.
