Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas‘ 400

Latin Name: Nepeta × faassenii 'Cat's Pajamas'

Common Name: Cat's Pajamas Catmint

Zones: 3–8

Height & Spread: 12–14 inches tall, spreading 18–20 inches wide

Descriptive Features: An ultra-compact, floriferous catmint that blooms 2–3 weeks earlier than 'Cat's Meow' and stands only about half its height. Indigo-blue flowers appear along the entire length of the stems — from soil to tip — rather than just at the top, creating an unusually full, ball-shaped mound of color from early summer into early fall. Rosy purple calyxes extend visual interest even as blooms fade. Sterile and non-seeding, deer- and rabbit-resistant, and drought-tolerant. Excellent for small gardens, borders, and edging in full sun.
