Catmint is a hardy perennial known for its aromatic, gray-green foliage and abundant spikes of lavender-blue flowers that bloom from late spring to early fall. Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, it is ideal for borders, cottage gardens, or as a ground cover, where it can create a soft, mounding effect.
