Catmint 'Sylvester Blue™' (Nepeta faassenii 'Sylvester Blue™') is a compact, long-blooming perennial that brings a soft haze of lavender-blue flower spikes above aromatic gray-green foliage. You get a neat, mounded plant that looks great as an edging or in the front of a border, and it pairs easily with other sun-loving perennials and ornamental grasses.

Plant it in full sun to part shade for the best bloom and a tight habit. It performs well in well-drained soil and handles dry to average moisture once established; avoid constantly wet sites. If summers are hot and humid, a bit of afternoon shade and good air flow can help keep the plant looking its best.

For a longer show and a fresh, full shape, shear the plant back after the first main flush of flowers. This encourages new growth and repeat blooming through the season. Expect a mature height around 12-15 inches, with a wider spread, making it an easy filler that stays low and approachable while adding steady color.
