- Product number: 598600
- Origin: Europe
- Latin: Nepeta x faassenii, or also known as Nepeta mussinii
This strong, perennial plant thrives in a sunny to partially shaded spot, not too wet. First, the attractive fragrant, grey-green foliage forms in spring. Cats love this scent and enjoy rolling in the plant. From June, clusters of lavender-blue flowers appear at a height of 30-50 cm. By pruning the plant after flowering, it will rebloom until September. At first glance, the plant is often confused with lavender, and its use in ornamental gardens is comparable.
