Nepeta Racemosa

With a low, spreading habit, Nepeta racemosa makes good ground cover, and is perfect for softening the edges of paths and borders. From June to September this attractive Catmint bears a profusion of violet-purple flower spikes that smother the mid-green leaves. Like all Nepeta, this hardy perennial is always busy with bees and has a peculiar effect on cats who adore its aromatic foliage. Height: 30cm (12″). Spread: 45cm (18″).

Culinary note: The strong, minty/spicy flavoured flowers can be used sparingly in pasta or rice dishes. For more details about edible flowers click here.

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
