Proven Winners perennial of the year for 2021, we really like what we saw from Cat's Pajamas nepeta. More compact and dense than other sprawling varieties of catmint, in late spring through summer, Cat’s Pajamas fills with beautiful purple blooms that arch down from silvery green textured foliage. Unlike other varieties of catmint that bloom only near the top of the plant, Cat’s Pajamas has blooms that come down nearly to the soil line, taking a very hardy plant with decent appeal to a must have show-stopper in the garden. If you have room, plant it in bunches for a sensational purple effect. As an added bonus, the plant has a nice aromatic scent that keeps deer and other wildlife away, but that cats actually do love. For those looking for an ultra-easy to grow perennial that is at home in foundation plantings, border gardens, rock gardens, and even containers nepeta is an excellent choice. *Photo Credit: Walter Gardens
