Transform your garden with the stunning Junior Walker™ Catmint, a compact selection known for its delicate, aromatic gray-green foliage and beautiful lavender flower spikes. This low-growing perennial exhibits a fine texture and adds a touch of elegance to any landscape, making it an ideal choice for borders, containers, and ground cover.

With a spreading habit, Junior Walker™ Catmint is perfect for cascading over walls or the edges of pots, providing visual interest from summer into early fall. Its vibrant violet-blue flowers are not only showy but also release a delightful fragrance, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies while remaining deer and rabbit resistant.

Key Features:

• Size: Quickly grows to a height of 14 to 16 inches and spreads 30 to 36 inches wide, making it an effective choice for creating lush ground cover.
• Bloom Time: Produces abundant flowers from summer to early fall, ensuring your garden remains colorful for months.
• Water Needs: Allow the soil to dry slightly between watering—this plant is drought-tolerant once well-established.

Care & Maintenance:

• Light Requirements: Thrives in full sun (6+ hours) to partial sun (4-6 hours), making it versatile for various garden spots.
• Soil Preferences: Best suited for average, rocky, well-drained soil with good air circulation. It appreciates some afternoon shade in hotter climates to prevent stress.
• Watering: Water deeply and regularly during the first growing season to develop a robust root system. Once established, reduce watering frequency as this plant tolerates moderate drought.

Companion Planting:

Consider pairing Walker's Low Catmint with other beautiful perennials such as:

• Coneflower (Echinacea)
• Black-Eyed Susan (Rudbeckia)
• Bee Balm (Monarda)
• Coreopsis
• Butterfly Bush (Buddleia)

Additional Benefits:

This easy-care beauty boasts improved pest and disease resistance, making it a reliable option for any garden. Additionally, its aromatic foliage serves as a natural deterrent to pests like aphids and squash bugs, adding an element of protection to your garden ecosystem.

Important Note: Unlike true catnip, not all catmint varieties elicit a strong reaction from cats, ensuring a serene addition to your garden that won't attract felines.
