Product Description
Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' (25) Bare Root Plants
a/k/a Catmint and Catnip
The cultivar name is somewhat misleading, the plant is named for its garden of origin, not its growth habit.
Gray-green, aromatic foliage gives way to a plethora of soft lavender-blue flowers which are produced over a long period in summer. Although the stems are 2-3' long, the plant's arching habit brings the height down to 18-24" if it is not staked. When Nepeta's stems are broken, they release an aroma into the air that tends to attract cats, thus its common name, Catmint.

Already started growing
I ordered 25 of these (bare root) and they came well packed, in perfect condition. Got them in the ground the next day, and now, a week later, I see lots of healthy top growth. Very pleased with both the plants and the ordering/shipping process.
