Nepeta Faassenii Walkers Low Catmint Plants

Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' – Catmint

Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' is a superb, long-flowering herbaceous perennial prized for its billowing clouds of soft lavender-blue flower spikes and aromatic, grey-green foliage. This outstanding catmint forms a neat, dense mound that produces wave after wave of delicate blooms from late spring right through to early autumn, making it one of the most reliable and rewarding perennials for the garden. A recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), 'Walker's Low' is a proven performer in UK gardens.

Loved by bees, butterflies and other pollinators, this variety is an excellent choice for wildlife-friendly planting schemes. Its softly cascading habit makes it ideal for spilling over path edges, softening border fronts or planting in drifts through gravel gardens. Once established, it is remarkably drought tolerant and thrives in free-draining soils in a sunny position. A light trim after the first flush of flowers will encourage a fresh second display later in the season.

Supplied as 1 established plant in a 3 litre pot, ready for planting out.
