Nepeta racemosa 'Superba' produces an abundance of lavender-blue flowers from spring well into summer above aromatic silvery-grey foliage. This loosely growing perennial adds movement and lightness to sunny borders and combines especially well with roses and ornamental grasses. Its exceptionally long flowering period makes it a valuable food source for many pollinating insects.

Care/Water

Nepeta racemosa 'Superba' (faassenii 'Superba') requires regular watering during the growing season, especially during dry summer months.
