Catmint 'Walkers Low' {25 Pots - 3 1/2 in.}
With striking and
long blooming
flowers and intricate foliage, Walker's Low Catmint will add trouble-free contrasts to your garden.
Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ is reported to be a chance seedling of Nepeta racemosa and Nepeta nepetella. Mrs. Patricia Taylor spotted the seedling in the lower part of a Mrs. Walker’s garden in Ireland during the 1970’s. Mrs. Taylor took cuttings and the plant was introduced into the trade in 1988 by Four Seasons Nursery of Norwich, England. Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ garnered the Royal Horticultural Society's 2012 Award of Garden Merit and the Perennial Plant Association's 2007 Perennial Plant of the Year award. Although the stems are 2-3 feet long, the plant's arching habit brings the height down to 24-30 inches if it is not staked.

Catmint prefers well-drained soil that is not overly fertile.
Some compost in fall or spring will provide sufficient nutrients to keep the plant happy.
General information that applies to all plants:
Catmints thrive best when divided every 3-4 years in early spring. Leave spent foliage in place over winter to help protect the crown, cut back old foliage in late winter rather than in the fall. Prune back plants by one-third to one-half after the initial bloom to stimulate re-bloom. Must be propagated by division, as seeds are sterile. Deadheading spent flower heads is recommended to promote extended blooming. - Ground preparation, fertilization, pH - Planting instructions - Explanation and description of bare roots - How to plant bare root plants - If you cannot plant bare roots right away |
