Description
This attractive perennial reaches 1' tall and 2' wide, with a mounding habit. Dense foliage is gray green, aromatic when crushed, and velvety looking. Lavender blue clusters of flowers bloom in summer, attracting bees. Prune spent flowers to prevent reseeding and encourage more blooming. This plant tolerates ocean spray, full to part sun with well draining, dry soil. Moderate water once it's established. Does not like heat and humidity. Deer resistant but some cats love Catmint!
