Walker's Low Catmint (Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low') is the gold standard for perennials, honored as Perennial Plant of the Year for its unrivaled garden performance. This variety forms a lush, mounding clump of aromatic, gray-green foliage that remains attractive all season. From late spring through autumn, it is smothered in upright spikes of soft lavender-blue flowers that create a hazy, romantic "cloud" of color in the border.

As a resilient member of the Nepeta genus, 'Walker's Low' is a powerhouse for the water-wise garden. It is exceptionally drought-tolerant once established and thrives in the heat of full sun. It is a premier nectar source, constantly buzzing with honeybees, bumblebees, and butterflies, yet it is famously resistant to deer and rabbits. Why you’ll love it: Non-stop blooming power, drought-resistant nature, and a tidy, mounding habit that softens garden edges and paths beautifully.

This healthy 4" live flowering plant thrives in full sun and requires well-drained soil for best performance.
