Re: well-behaved nepeta?

Liz, that is great information about nepeta, thanks.
 
Nan, I am with Joe, most nepeta I have grown have needed shearing or pinching to look good and can flop over, but I do know a plant you might like, Origanum dictamnus, Dittany of Crete.  It makes a neat little mound and gets wonderful ornamental flower bracts that cover the foliage and last all season and then can be sheared off.  It then returns to it's fuzzy round grey foliage.  It can take the heat and sun and is drought tolerant.  I also like Artemisia schmidtiana 'Silver Mound' as a front border plant.  It stays compact and neat.  Or how about a thyme, lots of choices there.
