About this plant
Nepeta x faassenii 'Alba' is a sterile hybrid catmint prized for its extended bloom period and tidy mounding habit. From late spring through fall, it produces copious spikes of delicate white flowers that attract a wealth of pollinators, creating a vibrant focal point in your garden. This cultivar is a robust choice for borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, or mass plantings. Its aromatic foliage not only adds texture and color but also acts as a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits, ensuring your landscape remains pristine. Easy to grow and remarkably adaptable, 'Alba' Catmint thrives in challenging conditions once established, offering lasting beauty with minimal fuss. Its compact size makes it suitable for both spacious gardens and smaller urban landscapes alike.
