low growing nepeta
Low growing nepeta is sought-after among New Zealand gardeners for its reliable ground cover, aromatic foliage, and striking blue flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Perfect for edges, rockeries, containers, or even mass planting, low growing nepeta varieties bring a relaxed, cottage-garden feel to any outdoor space while being exceptionally easy-care. If you're searching for a compact, spreading perennial that offers months of colour and resists drought, explore the world of low growing nepeta—often called catmint—which is valued for its versatility and hardy nature in Kiwi gardens.
