Why Choose Nepeta Cats Pajamas for Your NZ Garden?

Nepeta cats pajamas is specially bred to be one of the earliest and longest-flowering varieties available. This neat, mounded catmint produces masses of vivid blue flower spikes from late spring right through to autumn, outshining many other perennials in floriferousness and repeat bloom. Its aromatic silver-green foliage not only looks attractive but is highly deer and rabbit resistant, while still being irresistible to bees and butterflies. Unlike taller types, Nepeta cats pajamas remains wonderfully tidy—ideal along paths, in containers, or as a feature in rock gardens.
