Professional Growing Information Bought these early this spring and planted them right away in west facing flowerbed against my garage. They never looked sad, they stayed just as fresh as they were in the pot when I received them, until about 1 month in, since then they’ve really thrived. They’ve about doubled in size, and they have tons of lavender flowers on top. I’ve been really impressed with them! I’m excited to see the size that they grow to next year! The flowers show no signs of dropping anytime soon!

I was voted MOST LIKELY to THRIVE.No catmint is a more beautiful, uniform grower than Cat’s Meow Nepeta. Its flowers are dense and colorful, and its habit is more refined. Plus, it stands strong with no flopping, getting wider and growing to a broad mound as the season progresses.

Outstanding!!! I bought three small plants , I believe, spring 2020.. I've been wanting cats meow for years.. P. Allen Smith strongly recommended it ... They have exploded in size... From about 6 inches wide and 10 inches tall to ..this year... Around 18 inches high by 18 inches wide this spring. AMAZING. My husband even complemented them. My mom wants some now... They are a knock out... Sold out everywhere I check now.

LOVE LOVE LOVE ..I am a beginner ..big gardens this summer and this is my favorite ..so romantic and soft looking and feeling, bees butterflies and catepillars love it ..it smells absolutely amazing and for that alone I want more of them. Not obtrusive, but soft dainty beautiful and holds shape. Now I want 10 more of these!!! as they are loved by all of nature and we humans too!!!! An absolute must have. I am going to order about 10 more and plant most together near the lake at our cottage. I like natural looking flowers and these look like they just grew there on their own. Perfection!!!! <3

My second season growing this nepeta and it is FAR superior to the big box store varieties. PW's nepeta has stronger stems and is more densely leaved with reliable & longer lasting blooms. The foliage doesn't yellow like my other varieties. It remains attractive with blue-green leaves when sheered back.

I love mine! It just keeps on blooming. Update: I planted this in 2014 and it is so reliable, it comes up every year and keeps on blooming in a nice tidy shaped mound
