Nepeta sibirica

at Digging Dog
Catmint
Sometime around May a certain fragrance tells us that it’s time for sunny days and warm weather. It’s
Nepeta! Catmint, as it is commonly called, is a free bloomer whose billowy mounds of lavender, pink or white flowers are as opulent as its aromatic foliage.
Supposedly, this herb renders timid people fierce, and the botanist Tournefort tells of a hangman who couldn’t cut the mustard “til he chewed a little catmint root.” Have some Loosestrife around in case things get out of hand.
Cut back in July for an encore in the fall. Nepeta sibirica ‘Souvenir d’ A. Chaudron’ 
Long after this species has bloomed you will remember its large, tubular, blue flowers highlighted by intensely aromatic, deep green foliage. With an upright form, ‘Souvenir d’ A. Chaudron’ makes a good companion for Origanum ‘Bristol Cross’ or Euphorbia rigida.
Blooms August–September. Size: 18" high x 18" wide; hardy to zone 5. Nepeta sibirica Souvenir d’ A. Chaudron (P-0303)
