Catmint
Nepeta faassenii. Katment.
Seasonal. Mostly used as an aromatic and decorative herb.
- Not to be confused with catnip
- Pot-pourri and dry arrangements
- Good rose companion and groundcover
Catmint is a popular ornamental but has less effect on cats and no
medicinal properties.
Uses
Highly rated as a ornamental groundcover due to its grayish leaves and
lovely blue flowers which are borne in masses. Cats will revel in it
although not as much as in catnip.
Growing
Very easy. Perennial. 30cm. Full sun. |
