Catmint is a hardy, easy-to-grow perennial with fragrant purple flowers and attractive grey-green foliage. Blooming early and over a long period, Catmint adds beauty and texture to any garden while tolerating poor soil and drought. This ornamental ground cover attracts bees and butterflies, making it perfect for pollinator-friendly spaces. Loved by cats but less attractive to them than catnip, Catmint is a versatile and low-maintenance choice for gardeners.

*Cold-Hardy Perennial – Hardy to zone 3, ideal for colder climates.
*Flowers in First Year – Blooms begin in the plant’s first growing season, providing early enjoyment.
*Part-Shade Tolerant – Thrives in full sun but tolerates part-shade, versatile for different garden areas.
*Ground Cover – Low-growing, spreading growth perfect for covering bare areas.
*Bloom Period – Blooms from late spring to summer, offering extended seasonal color.
*Pollinator Friendly – Attracts bees and butterflies, enhancing biodiversity.

Start Catmint seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before your last frost date, or direct-seed outdoors once the risk of frost has passed. For improved germination, cold stratify seeds by placing them in a moist paper towel in a plastic back or container. Keep in the fridge for about 1-2 weeks prior to planting.

Press seeds lightly into the soil and cover only slightly. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination, which typically occurs in 10-20 days, though cooler temperatures may extend this period.

After the last frost, transplant seedlings into a sunny or part-sun location, spacing plants 12-18 inches (30-45 cm) apart.
