'Cat's Pajamas' Catmint Nepeta hybrid

Oh man the bees LOVE LOVE LOVE this plant. I bought 3 of these and planted them together. The only negative I have is they flopped after I got them in the ground. Part of that could be that I got fertilizer too close to them when I did the rest of the bed or the fact that we have been getting a ton of rain. I’m a beginning gardener so I don’t really know for sure. I cut one back and it is showing new growth after only a couple days. If the one I cut back turns out good then I will cut the other back as well. I just didn’t have the heart to do them all at once since the bees love this plant so much. For sure getting more of these as I add more beds to the yard.

I have these inside tree rings around my October Glory maples. I have been moderately successful propagating cuttings, about 50% success rate. Love the intense early spring color and so do the bees. My best early pollinator attractor for the garden.

Wow another Proven Winner........I amended the soil and added drip and a slow release fertilizer and they just kept growing all summer long in the full sun Texas heat!!!! LOVE IT

Loved this plant! Unfortunately the neighborhood cats loved it to pieces! Chewed on it and then slept on our driveway in a stupor. Must affect them like catnip! What else would be as pretty without attracting cats?

I planted several Cat's Pajamas in the spring of 2019. I bought them from a local garden center; they were not very big, but they were healthy, so I crossed my fingers I would see them again the next year. They came back this year twice the size. Very full bloom spikes, just like Proven Winners' pictures. The color and size are also represented well in the pictures. They are the first perennials in my garden to start blooming at the end of April. Bees love them. This is a fantastic plant. I plan on obtaining many more to plant anywhere I can tuck them in.
