'Walker's Low' Catmint is known for its easy going nature - it can thrive in a variety of soil and sunlight scenarios, though it does prefer things on the sunny, dry side. Beautiful purple flower spikes appear in early summer and continue to bloom and release their sweet fragrance for up to 3 months. Very showy and very low maintenance, 'Walker's Low' is a great choice for planting in swaths, lining walkways, or adding to pollinator gardens. Deer resistant. (Nepeta faassenii)
To determine if a plant is sufficiently cold hardy, the USDA created numbered zones indicating winter low
temperatures; the lower the zone number the colder the winter.
If the coldest winter temperature expected in your area is -15°F (zone 5) then any plants rated zones 3-5 will
survive the winter temperatures in your area.
If you live in very warm winter areas (zones 9-11) plants with zones 3-4 ratings are not recommended. The lack
of freezing winter temperatures do not provide a time for winter dormancy (rest).
24-30" tall x 24-36" wide. A showy, pollinator-friendly plant with a growth habit similar to lavender, 'Walker's Low' Nepeta was the Perennial Plant of the year in 2007. A member of the mint family, this Nepeta was chosen for its rich color and easy growing, waterwise ways. From late spring to mid summer, you'll be treated to lush purple spikes of flowers that will gladly rebloom when sheared mid-season. Aromatic and drought-tolerant.
