Nepeta is a low-maintenance catmint known for its vibrant blue-purple flowers and aromatic stems. Here are some key care tips:
For optimal growth, provide 6-8 hours of sunlight each day. Use well-drained, fertile soil with a pH 6.0 and 7.0. Let the soil dry slightly between waterings, and water deeply during the first growing season. Apply a balanced NPK fertilizer in early spring and again in mid-summer. After flowering, deadhead spent blooms and prune back by one-third to promote fresh growth.
