How do we use your location?
Knowing your location helps us recommend plants that will thrive in your climate, based on your Growing Zone.
14-16” tall x 31-35” wide. Nepeta Junior Walker™ brings massive bloom power to small spaces and draws hummingbirds and bees to the garden. A hardy, waterwise perennial, Junior Walker™ is sized just right for patio pots and containers. They also perform beautifully in any well-drained soil. Plant them in cottage or butterfly gardens for rustic flair. With small, sage-colored leaves, Junior Walker™ also looks at home in Mediterranean-style plantings. Plants benefit from afternoon shade in hot climates. Water well the first season to establish a strong root system. Plants can tolerate drought once established. A quick snip of spent flowers in early summer will promote new growth and fresh blooms. Cut plants back in late-winter before growth resumes.
As soon as your order is placed you will receive a confirmation email. You will receive a second email the day your order ships telling you how it has been sent. Some perennials are shipped as potted plants, some as perennial roots packed in peat. The ‘Plant Information’ section describes how that item will ship. All perennials and fall-planted bulbs are packaged to withstand shipping and are fully-guaranteed. Please open upon receipt and follow the instructions included.
Perennials and fall-planted bulbs are shipped at the proper planting time for your Growing Zone. Perennial and fall-planted bulb orders will arrive separately from seeds. If your order requires more than one shipment and all items are shipping to the same address, there is no additional shipping charge. See our shipping information page for approximate ship dates and more detailed information. If you have any questions, please call Customer Service at (802) 227-7200 or contact us by email or chat.

"I've purchased this plant in spring and it came in very small containers . once it got established it grew three times its size in my border!! I love the way it looks and it attracts pollinators 🐝 the color has last all season long . I will definitely be buying more next spring."
"I planted these in the border of a flower bed. They are a little small but I completely expected that. I am perfectly fine with that as I am gardener who loves to watch them grow. I did not expect any blooms this first year but I have gotten a few. They are holding up well in the heat too. Overall very pleased!"
"I have 3 different varieties of catmint (including a very popular Proven Winners variety), and these are the best. They have been in bloom for SO long. It's early July and I keep waiting for them to lull and they're still gorgeous, weeks after I've cut back my other varieties. They're the perfect size for lining a border. Not too big that they overwhelm the 2nd level behind them, but big enough to spill gracefully over a rock edging. I have about 10 Walker Junior plants lining my driveway in a hot, high desert border, so they get full sun plus the baking hot radiant heat off the concrete. They are on a drip system and seem to be thriving in these tough conditions. They're the perfect color and habit for a soft and romantic cottage garden, and they look wonderful next to yarrow, roses, and veronica. I don't have to worry about them spreading, but they're so great I kind of already want more!"
"This is a beautiful plant and loved by bees. It grew so fast and got so large quickly!"
"Long blooming"
"huge bee attractor"
"These have flourished. They arrived in spring looking a little bedraggled a few weeks into lockdown but perked up really quickly and within a month or so we're getting bushy, attracting loads of butterflies and looking beautiful."
