These four plants of Walker's Low Catmint were planted two years ago in what is very heavy soil. I have done nothing to them except apply fertilizer once a year in early spring working it into the soil around the roots. I have been cutting off a couple dozen stems from each of these for the last two farmer's markets I attended, and still I have these huge mounds of periwinkle blue stems. Each plant is about 18" high and spreads almost 2 feet. They will continue to bloom for almost another month. The bees love it, and it has a nice fragrance too!
