Professional Growing Information 
I love the look of this plant and planted five this year as a border. I’m a little worried as a few of them exploded with growth and are already bigger than 2ft across after only a few weeks in the ground. They do seem to like to be watered more than I would have thought. Came home yesterday to find them all splayed out on the ground even though we had heavy rain about a week ago. I watered them and they sprang back to life.

When Nepeta's stems are broken, they release an aroma into the air that tends to attract cats, thus its common name, Catmint.
