Nepeta x faassenii 'Dropmore'

Common Name:
Catmint 'Dropmore'

Description:
Nepeta x faassenii 'Dropmore' is a hardy, long-flowering perennial prized for its aromatic grey-green foliage and masses of soft lavender-blue flowers that bloom from late spring to autumn. This compact, clump-forming variety is highly attractive to bees and butterflies, making it an excellent choice for pollinator-friendly gardens. It thrives in full sun with well-drained soil and is highly drought-tolerant once established. Ideal for borders, cottage gardens, rockeries, and edging pathways, 'Dropmore' also pairs beautifully with roses and other perennials. Regular trimming after flowering will encourage repeat blooms and maintain a tidy growth habit.
