Catmint, ‘Cat’s Pajamas’

Description

PP31127 CPBR75452021 Proven Winners National Perennial of the Year®A perfect Catmint choice for fans of Cat’s Meow who love the look but prefer a more compact plant. Cats Pajamas grows to a little over half the height and blooms about two to three weeks earlier. Its rounded shape features long, dark flower stems topped with rich indigo blue blooms. Unlike older varieties that flower only at the stem tips, this improved Catmint blooms from the soil up to the ends of the stems. Even after peak bloom, the rosy purple calyxes continue to add color to the garden. As an added benefit, the small, fragrant leaves help deter deer and rabbits. This shorter plant is ideal for city gardens or the front of a border.When Nepeta stems are broken, they release a scent into the air that often attracts cats, which is how the plant earned its common name, Catmint.Photo courtesy of Walters Gardens, Inc.
