Why Choose Nepeta Six Hills Giant?

Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' offers tall, arching stems that create a soft, billowing display in the garden, reaching up to 90cm in height. It's particularly valued for its long flowering season and ability to thrive in a range of soil types, preferring a sunny spot with well-drained soil. Once established, it's remarkably drought-tolerant. This makes it an ideal choice for New Zealand gardens that experience dry spells or for gardeners seeking low-maintenance, resilient plants.

Beyond its beauty, the aromatic foliage of Nepeta Six Hills Giant naturally deters pests, making it a smart companion for roses and vegetables. Its gentle, flowing habit works beautifully in borders, alongside paths, or as an informal edge.

How to Plant and Care for Nepeta Six Hills Giant

When you buy Nepeta Six Hills Giant and bring it home, choose a spot with at least half a day of sun. Dig in some compost at planting, but avoid overly rich soils (which can encourage floppy growth). Give each plant ample space to allow its distinctive mounding habit.

Water in well after planting, then reduce watering once established—too much water can lead to root rot. In autumn, trim back spent stems to keep the plant neat and encourage strong new growth in spring. Although cat-friendly, Nepeta 'Six Hills Giant' is less prone to intense feline attention than some other varieties.
