Professional Growing Information 
I love this catmint! It blooms solidly May-June, then after a July cutback will bloom again through the fall. It divides really well. It expands typically the 2nd or 3rd year to become a nice 2-3’ mounded shape. It handles my hot Idaho summers just fine. The foliage is lovely, so even when I’ve cut it back it still looks good.
