Nepeta mussinii, commonly known as Catmint, is a low-growing, herbaceous perennial valued for its aromatic foliage and long-lasting flowers. It typically reaches a height of 30–45 cm and spreads up to 60 cm, forming a dense, mounding habit. The plant features soft, grey-green, ovate leaves with a slightly serrated edge and a pleasant fragrance. From late spring to early autumn, it produces spikes of lavender-blue flowers that attract bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. It is commonly used in borders, rock gardens, and cottage gardens and is well-suited for edging pathways due to its compact growth and drought tolerance.
