Named after a place in England, not its growth habit, Nepeta "Walker's Low" is a stunning non-reseeding catmint selection with attractive, crinkled blue-green foliage and a profusion of deep lavender-blue flowers that bloom late spring to early summer. A rugged, easy-to-grow addition to any low-water garden, it thrives in hot parkstrips or perennial borders. Grows about 18 to 24 inches tall and wide. The nepeta planted in the Washington Square Demonstration Garden are Walkers Low.
Best grown in average, dry to medium moisture, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. Thrives in dry soils in full sun, and is very drought tolerant. Shear flower spikes after initial flowering to promote continued bloom. Divide every few years if the center starts to thin. Cut back hard, a few inches above the crown, in late winter to early spring, before new growth emerges.
