Planting
Nepeta x faassenii grows and flowers well in a spot in full sun in loose, poor soil.

Nepeta x faassenii is a border plant that just loves being in the garden. Prepare a large hole and loosen the soil thoroughly with a fork. Plant your catmint at the correct depth in the hole – top of the root ball should be just below ground level. Fill the hole with soil and heel well in. Water immediately after planting. Nepeta x faassenii in the border The flower spikes of the grey catmint form the focal point in any border. Mix these lavender blue flowers in varied ways with woundwort (Stachys officinalis ‘Rosea’), phlox and delphinium – or with ornamental grasses. Grey catmint looks especially impressive when planted in large groups.
