About this plant

Catmint 'Walker's Low' is an outstanding perennial that consistently earns its place in diverse landscape designs. Its profusion of delicate, lavender-blue flowers emerges in late spring and continues blooming through summer, offering a nearly season-long spectacle of color and fragrance. The soft, aromatic gray-green leaves provide an attractive textural contrast even when the plant is not in bloom. Renowned for its exceptional garden performance, 'Walker's Low' is incredibly adaptable and low-maintenance. It forms a handsome, mounding habit that looks superb in borders, mass plantings, or as an accent plant. Its drought tolerance once established makes it a smart choice for water-wise gardens. This catmint is not only a visual delight but also a valuable addition for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies with its nectar-rich flowers. Its deer and rabbit resistance ensure it remains pristine in areas where these animals are a concern.

Care & maintenance

Catmint 'Walker's Low' is remarkably easy to care for. Plant in well-drained soil and provide adequate space for its mature size. Deadhead spent flowers to encourage continuous blooming, though it will rebloom effectively even without it. A light trim after the first flush of flowers can rejuvenate the plant and promote a second wave of blooms. Drought tolerant once established, but occasional watering during prolonged dry spells can be beneficial.
