Fothergill's Nepeta Blue Panther Seeds

Details:

• Botanical Name: Nepeta subsessilis, a robust and hard-wearing hardy perennial from the trusted Nepeta genus.
• Impressive Flower Size: Specifically bred to carry the largest flowers of any Catmint variety, providing a far more impactful visual display than traditional types.
• Highly Aromatic Foliage: Features beautifully scented leaves that add a wonderful sensory dimension to your garden paths and seating areas.
• Clump-Forming Profile: Reaches a sturdy height of 50cm (20in) with a neat, bushy habit, making it excellent for adding mid-border structure without flopping.
• Flexible Positioning: Highly versatile, performing beautifully when planted in either full sun or partial shade.
• Wildlife Magnet: Exceptionally attractive to bees, butterflies, and hoverflies, drawing masses of beneficial pollinators with its nectar-rich flowers.
• First-Year Flowering: A reliable perennial that establishes quickly, rewarding you with full blooms in its first season from an early spring sowing.

Care Instructions:

• Sow seeds early indoors on a free-draining compost mix, or sow directly into prepared garden beds after the risk of frost has passed.
• Water regularly until the plants are fully established, keeping the soil moist but free-draining.
• Cut the stems back after the first flush of flowers to encourage a tidy, dense shape and a secondary display of blue blooms later in the season.
