Re: Nepeta/catmint

Susan,

Below is an excerpt from an earlier post I saved:

Plants grow around 10" tall and has a soft lavender blue flower color, plants 
bloom almost all summer into fall.
'Blue Wonder' is another shorter one, growing around 12-15" tall and its make 
a great edging plant too. I like it planted around shrubs.  the flower color 
is a soft blue and it responds well to trimming.

I like Nepeta and back during the days when I collected a lot of diffrent 
plants I tried N. grandiflora this catmint did have large gray blue flowers 
and it blooms all summer-but they are large plants.  My clump grows 3.5 feet 
tall and 6 feet wide. But I still like it.
Nepeta subsessilis has a diffrent appearance than the other species, To me 
the foliage is very appealing and the attractive bright blue flowers are nice 
too.  The first set of plants I tried of this species must have been a 
shorter clone because they grew only around 8-10" tall.  But the form I am 
offering for sale now is already 12-15" tall and we are still a few weeks 
from them blooming.
