  • Description

  • Notes

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.
