Plant Care

Junior Walker Catmint is remarkably low-maintenance and drought-tolerant once established. Deadheading spent blooms will encourage continuous flowering throughout the season. In mid-summer, plants can be cut back by one-third to refresh foliage and promote a second flush of blooms. This plant is deer and rabbit resistant, while attracting beneficial pollinators like butterflies and bees to your garden.

Planting Instructions

Plant in spring or fall, spacing plants 24-30 inches apart. Dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and at the same depth. Remove the plant from its container and gently loosen the roots. Place in the hole, ensuring the top of the root ball is level with the soil surface. Backfill with soil, water thoroughly, and apply a light layer of mulch around the base, keeping it away from the crown.
