'Cat's Pajamas' Catmint (Nepeta hybrid)

Please Note: Our Ships Now perennials will currently ship dormant. The foliage and blooms begin to brown and die back. We provide a hard trim in the greenhouse to support this process. During dormancy, plants go inactive to conserve their energy for the next growing season. This happens naturally as seasons change!

Nepeta 'Cat's Pajamas' is the perfect mix of charm and practicality! With its neat, ball-shaped habit, this improved catmint boasts long, dark flower stems that hold clusters of striking indigo-blue flowers from the soil to the tips—unlike older varieties that only bloom at the top. Even after the blooms fade, the rosy purple calyxes continue to add a pop of color to your garden. The small, aromatic leaves act as a natural deterrent for deer and rabbits, making it a low-maintenance winner. A smaller-scale version of its larger cousins, 'Cat's Pajamas' is ideal for city gardens or the front of borders, delivering beauty and function in a compact package!

  • Hardy in zones 3-8, be sure to check your USDA zone to ensure success
  • Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily)
  • Space plants 18-20 inches apart for best results
  • Produces fragrant indigo blue flowers from early summer to early fall
