This smaller ornamental form of Nepeta has spikes of purplish blue flowers during most of the summer, with grey-white foliage. The dwarf spreading habit makes this plant excellent for massing as a ground cover in rockeries, or as a decorative border. Can be infused as a calming tea to treat sleeplessness and anxiety.
Maturity second season from transplant.
