Planting Instructions:

  • - Best planted in spring or fall for optimal root establishment
  • - Space plants 12-18 inches apart to allow for mature growth and good air circulation

Soil Preparation:

  • - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0
  • - Prefers well-drained soil; tolerates poor, sandy soils

Watering Specifics:

  • - Water deeply when first planted, allowing soil to dry out between waterings
  • - Once established, Nepeta is drought-tolerant and thrives with minimal watering

Fertilizer Type:

  • - Apply a balanced fertilizer in early spring, though Nepeta typically thrives in lean soil
  • - Avoid over-fertilizing, as it can lead to leggy growth

Pruning and Training:

  • - Trim back after the first flush of flowers to encourage reblooming
  • - Cut back spent foliage in late fall or early spring to tidy up the plant and promote new growth

Additional Pest Management:

  • - Nepeta is generally pest-free and deer-resistant
  • - Ensure good air circulation to prevent any potential fungal issues, though it’s highly disease-resistant

Blooming Indicators:

  • - Blooms from late spring through early fall with spikes of lavender, blue, or white flowers

Temperature Tolerance:

  • - Hardy in USDA zones 3-9, tolerates heat and cold once established
