Its name doesn't denote it size rather where it was found. Grey-green aromatic foliage on long, arching stems. Lavender blue flowers are produced over a long period in the summer. 2007 PPA Perennial of the Year.
Care: Nepetas are easy to grow perennials that provide a beautiful show of color all summer long. They prefer to be planted in full sun and ordinary, well drained soil. Shearing the plant back in the springtime will promote more compact growth. In addition, cutting plants back by half after their first bloom tends to stimulate a second bloom cycle.
