The Carbeth Plants Catmint (Nepeta) is a vigorous, hardy perennial ideal for gardeners looking to enhance biodiversity in cottage, wildlife, or coastal gardens. This plant offers the primary benefit of attracting essential pollinators like bees and butterflies while serving dual purposes as a decorative edging plant and a medicinal herb, though users should be aware that its aromatic nature specifically attracts local feline populations.

Because it is a variety of catmint, it is highly likely cats will roll in it. If you want to protect the plant, consider placing it in an area with physical barriers or elevated planters.
Traditionally, the leaves are used for tea. Always ensure you are using clean, organic leaves that have not been treated with synthetic pesticides before consuming.
No. Catmint thrives in average to poor soil. Over-fertilizing can lead to excessive foliage growth at the expense of flower production.
Space plants approximately 30 to 45cm apart to allow for proper air circulation and their natural spreading habit.
Yes, it is a hardy perennial, meaning it will die back to the ground in winter and re-emerge in the spring.
Check soil drainage; Catmint suffers in waterlogged soil. Ensure the soil is not too heavy or clay-like.
This is likely due to lack of sunlight. Relocate the plant to a spot that receives at least six hours of direct sunlight daily.
When you receive your 9cm pot, plant it in well-draining soil to ensure the roots do not sit in water, which is the primary cause of decline for this species. If planting in containers, ensure there are adequate drainage holes. While catmint is drought tolerant once mature, keep the plant watered during its first few weeks of transition. To encourage a potential second flush of flowers, shear the plant back by about one-third once the initial blooms begin to fade. Aside from occasional deadheading, this plant requires minimal intervention and is largely pest-free.
