Here’s a shot I took of my favorite catnip in the garden, Nepeta ‘Purple Haze’. It’s been looking like this for the past few weeks in the garden. It looks quite different from other catnips on the market, but we think it’s pretty special. Full sun and well-drained soil are all it requires.
It is beautiful. Is that fiber optic grass in front? Is is catnip or catmint – please straighten me out.
Catnip and catmint are both members of the genus, Nepeta. Both names are also use for all plants in the genus…this is a hybrid. In the front is a carex.
Do cats like it as they do catnip?
Our cats never took a liking to catnip, so we don’t know their preferences for this one. As with all nepetas, each cats reaction is different.
I got some from you a few years ago and it is beautiful. I also love the variegated carex. It has doubled in size in 3 years.
Excellent
