Like all perennials, some years it is a star in the garden and other years,
it takes some time off. So, it is good to grow two or three cultivars and
give
it more than one year to mature. This is one of those plants that needs to
be dug up and divided once in a while to be vigorous and healthy. When you
want a definitive answer, you need to post your location or as you can see,
all
kinds of responses come in.
Virginia,
Have never grown catmint, but it is planted at our local mcdonalds. The
restaurant is beautifully landscaped with a variety of lariope, catmint and yellow
daylilies. Annual plants in the same color family always make their business
a local prize winner for best garden landscape.
When the blooming is finished they cut the catmint all the way back, just
leaving a shrub like plant and it reblooms. It is very lovely and very low
maintenance. If I were going for a sun garden it would be on my list.
Did that help you with your question! (;^)
