A
few years ago I bought walkers low catmint online at Greenwood
Nursery. They shipped me very healthy potted plants, that had green
leaves and pretty flowers. These plants were added to my garden and
they bloomed throughout the summer season.
Photographs of the catnip plants I bought from Greenwood Nursery. This is how they looked on the day I received them. I definitely recommend this online nursery for your garden needs.
By
the second season, these six plants put out runners and filled in a
space of 4 x 4, forming a thick mat of green foliage and pretty
lavender-blue flowers. The flowers bloomed continually in May and
June, then I deadheaded the plants, fed them with miracle grow bloom
booster and the catmint bloomed again.
What
I like about this plant is that it is maintenance-free and pest
resistant and it attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to my yard.
I
would recommend that you plant in full sun, although it will tolerate
some shade in the afternoon. My summers get very hot and where I
have planted the catmint there is part shade at the peak of the day
followed by the late afternoon sun. On average the plants get 6 hours of
sun daily. My garden soil is well-drained and I water this catmint
in the morning with a slow drip soaking hose for one hour. By
afternoon the soil is dry and I have found that the catmint can hold
up and is tolerant of dry soil conditions.
