It was named Perennial of the year in 2007, and with good reason.
***Edited to add*** This is not catnip! It is a completely different plant. It doesn't attract cats at all. It's a wonderful perennial flowering plant.
A blog about food, and a little about reading, and some sewing, and I might even knit something.

ALRIGHT, I will head out and buy it this week...will it attract wayward cats in the neighborhood. I shouldn't worry - I am the St. Francis of Assisi of the block.
I have 2 indoor cats maybe they will enjoy this as a contained plant.
Twist my arm I will buy two plants and see what transpires. I will not wait 5 years. :)
I thought about putting some into my garden this year, but I worry that the breeze will carry the scent inside, where my cats will go crazy and try to get out. Is that nuts?
Do we want to attract cats for my dog to chase? How about Dogmint Nepeta instead? Only kidding, it's quite pretty.
I have some sort of catmint growing, but it doesn't look like yours. I love it. And, the deer leave it alone.
Ha ha ha, you make me laugh! I will check it out though!
Wow, it's beautiful!
It is beautiful! Just beautiful. I will find some this weekend, this is the first I have heard of this plant! I will have to send you photo's of my Poppies this summer. I feel the same way about them!

My husband was looking over my shoulder as I was reading your post. He told me to write this down.
Oh my gosh, your yard is stunning. STUNNING! This plant is just lovely; I like how it fans out. Sigh. My yard needs so much work. Did you plan out the plants in that area in the last photo? Beautiful!
I have this planted right next to my peonies, and it hides the foliage once the peonies stop blooming. When the peonies are in bloom, they look like they are floating among the spiky-yet-soft-looking Catmint...very lovely.
