Good plant #112 - Nepeta Racemosa 'Walker's Low'


This is a less rampant variety of nepeta. It sometimes produces a mass of blue flowers twice if you cut it back after the first flush of flowers.

It prefers well drained soil and a sunny-ish site.

Cut back hard in early spring to encourage compact growth.

Divide large clumps in spring to maintain vigour and create new plants.
