Catwalk Queen' Catmint (Nepeta)

(Catmint) Nepeta 'Catwalk Queen' lives up to its regal name with larger-than-usual lavender-blue blooms displayed on graceful, arching stems above soft gray-green foliage. The fragrant leaves form a compact, mounded shape that stays neat and tidy, making this catmint a perfect choice for sunny borders, edging, or mixed containers.

Reaching about 10–12 inches tall and spreading 18–20 inches wide, 'Catwalk Queen' is hardy in USDA Zones 3–8. It thrives in full sun and well-drained soil but tolerates light shade and dry conditions once established. Beginning in late spring, it produces waves of flowers that continue through summer and into fall. Light shearing or deadheading encourages even more blooms and keeps the plant looking fresh.

This hardy perennial is a pollinator favorite—bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds can't resist it—while its aromatic foliage naturally deters deer and rabbits. Heat and drought tolerant once established, 'Catwalk Queen' offers long-lasting color and reliable performance with minimal care.

Pair it with other sun-loving perennials such as Shasta daisies, coreopsis, or tall garden phlox for a vibrant, layered look in the garden. 'Catwalk Queen' Nepeta is a Proven Winners® Perennial.
