Select Blue
Catmint Seeds
Nepeta racemosa
Select Blue Catmint is an improved selection with deeper lavender blue flower spikes than common catmints. The heart-shaped, gray-green leaves are very fragrant. Select Blue catmint plants flower from May until October, and grow to 15 in. tall and spread to 18-24 inches across. Winter hardy to zone 3. In the Chicago Botanic Garden's 4+ year trial of 30 Nepetas, Select Blue catmint received top honors.
Growing Select Blue Nepeta Seeds
Plant Nepeta Seeds: Sow seed in cell packs or flats, press into soil but do not cover. Light aids germination. Kept at 70° F., germination is in 14-45 days. Can direct sow (barely cover), in groups of 6-8 seeds spaced 12-18 in. apart. Thin to the strongest plant.
Grow Nepeta: Full or part sun, prefers afternoon shade in hot areas. Well-drained soil. Needs average to little water once established. Cut plants back by half after bloom, or cut flowering stems down to ground level. In spring, remove old growth to make room for new stems. Deer and rabbit resistant. Attract bees and butterflies.
