Extend Summer Blooms with Catmint Walker’s Low

Walker’s Low Catmint produces billowing masses of small deep-lavender blue flowers for weeks, and is one of the most vividly colored in its family. This plant is low mounding with aromatic gray-green foliage and blooms from June to September. Reaching a height of 10”, it can spread 18-24” in width. To extend its blooming time, shear spent flowers to encourage a new flush of blooms.

It prefers full sun, but it can tolerate afternoon shade. Planted in a well drained area, Walker’s Low can make an excellent border plant, great in rock gardens, good for naturalizing and is an attractive addition to ornamental herb garden.

This fast growing, upright perennial attracts butterflies, hummingbirds and bees. What a perfect plant for the first time gardener!
