Blue Wonder Catmint

If you’ve been searching for that perfect front-of-border plant, meet Blue Wonder Catmint. This low-growing, spreading beauty forms a soft, silvery-green mound that practically disappears beneath a cloud of lavender-blue blooms each summer. Blue Wonder produces larger-than-usual flowers that put on a show from May all the way through July. Dead-heading the spent blossoms and will reward you with a second flush of color. Deer resistant, drought tolerant, and unfazed by less-than-perfect conditions, this is a plant that thrives on a little neglect. Its naturally compact stature makes it a natural fit for the front of a border, as a flowing groundcover, or tucked beneath larger shrubs. Butterflies and moths flock to its nectar-rich blooms.
