Nepeta Picture Purrfect

Nepeta Picture Purrfect

A compact plant with outstanding flower power, this low-growing Catmint variety is a butterfly magnet with tons of natural flair! Picture Purrfect delivers everything gardeners want in a flowering perennial. Aromatic, gray-green foliage covers a dense, 10-12" plant and creates a fantastic backdrop to the abundant, trumpet-shaped blooms that appear in early summer. The fragrant flowers are bluer than many other Nepeta varieties, boast an extended bloom time, and are highly attractive to pollinators, too. Picture Perfect makes an eye-catching addition to full sun borders, containers and rock gardens. Drought tolerant plants.
