A recipient of the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit, this classic cottage-garden plant produces masses of delicate blooms from late spring right through to early autumn, providing months of colour and interest in the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis set of three established plants is ideal for creating a stunning drift of colour along a border edge, pathway or raised bed. Catmint is exceptionally easy to grow and thrives in a range of conditions, making it a superb choice for both beginner and experienced gardeners alike. Once established, it is notably drought-tolerant and performs well even in poor, dry soils where many other perennials may struggle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe softly textured, aromatic foliage is naturally resistant to deer and rabbits, while the nectar-rich flowers are a magnet for bees, butterflies and other pollinating insects throughout the flowering season.
