Catmint (Nepeta) is a long-blooming perennial… especially if you shear it back after the first bloom. Its lavender blue flowers blend well with the silvery foliage. A favorite of bees, it mixes well in an herb garden and at the front of a perennial border. A great perennial for beginners since it is so easy to grow. Deer and rabbit resistant. Drought tolerant.
