Catmint

Catmint produces soft waves of dainty lavender flowers from early Summer. Catmint is a compact, hardy variety thats ideal for the perennial or cottage border, in walls, paving or rock gardens.

Sow direct where they are to grow or into trays of Yates Black Magic Seed Raising Mix. Firm down, water gently and keep moist but not too wet through the germination period. Transplant or thin out when 5-7cm high. Choose a full sun or part shade position in well drained, sandy soil.

Cut back when leggy or after flowering to encourage fresh new growth. Makes an excellent groundcover beneath roses. Most cats enjoy rolling in this lemony, mint scented herb.

Plant height 30cm | Germination 15 – 20 days | Flowering 12 weeks
