Nepeta 'Lemon Purrfection' #1

'Lemon Purrfection’ is a compact, sun-loving catmint that pairs bright chartreuse-to-golden foliage with soft lavender-purple flower spikes — a striking color contrast that stands out early in the season. It typically grows 10–12″ tall and spreads 16–18″, forming a neat mound that’s perfect for edges, borders, and containers. One of the earliest Nepeta to bloom, it produces blossoms from early summer and often continues well into fall, especially if lightly sheared after the first flush. Once established, it’s drought tolerant, thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, and is both deer- and rabbit-resistant. Pollinators like bees, butterflies (and sometimes even hummingbirds) flock to its blooms. Overall, ‘Lemon Purrfection’ is a vibrant, low-maintenance choice for sunny gardens needing long-lasting color and texture.
