Whispurr Pink Nepeta

Whispurr Pink Nepeta (Nepeta x faassenii 'Whispurr Pink') is a charming, soft-toned catmint that breaks from the classic lavender-blue of the genus to offer delicate, whispery pink flowers on a compact, well-behaved mounding form. From late spring through summer, slender spikes of small, two-lipped soft pink blooms rise above a dense cushion of aromatic, silver-green foliage — creating a romantic, cottage-garden effect that blends effortlessly with roses, ornamental grasses, and perennial borders.

These Professional Grade 4" plants are grown with heritage practices, developing dense, fibrous root systems that establish quickly and spread to form a tidy, weed-suppressing mound. Whispurr Pink Nepeta is an extraordinarily versatile perennial — equally at home as a border edging plant, fragrant pathway accent, pollinator garden staple, or cascading container element. Its aromatic, silver-green foliage is naturally deer resistant and cat-attractive, while its compact habit requires far less cutting back than larger catmint varieties, making it one of the most garden-friendly Nepeta selections available.

• Soft Pink Blooms — a Rare & Romantic Departure from Classic Catmint: The delicate, whispery pink flower spikes offer a fresh, feminine alternative to the traditional lavender-blue of Nepeta — pairing exquisitely with roses, Salvia, Echinacea, and ornamental grasses for soft, romantic border combinations.
• Long Bloom Season with Easy Rebloom: Flowers prolifically from late spring through midsummer, then rebounds quickly after a light shearing for a strong second flush of bloom in late summer and fall — delivering exceptional seasonal color value from a single compact plant.
• Powerfully Pollinator-Friendly: The nectar-rich flower spikes are irresistible to bumblebees, honeybees, native bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects — making Whispurr Pink one of the most ecologically valuable plants available for pollinator-focused and habitat garden designs.
• Aromatic, Deer-Resistant Silver-Green Foliage: The soft, finely textured, fragrant foliage is naturally unappealing to deer and rabbits while remaining beautifully attractive in the garden — providing season-long sensory interest through both sight and scent even when not in full bloom.
• Compact, Tidy Habit Requiring Minimal Maintenance: A well-behaved, smaller-growing catmint that holds its mounding form without aggressive spreading or frequent hard cutting back — ideal for front-of-border placement, pathway edging, and mixed container planting.

These 4" healthy live plants thrive in full sun to light shade with well-drained to average soil and moderate water. Excellent drought tolerance once established; avoid heavy, waterlogged soils. Hardy in USDA zones 4–8. Mature height: 12–15 inches; spread: 15–18 inches. Primary bloom time: May–July; shear back by one-third after first flush for reliable rebloom in late summer through fall. Fragrant foliage is a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits.
