NEPETA Six Hills Giant. Catmint.

NEPETA Six Hills Giant

Also called Catmint.

A vigorous clump forming perennial with grey/green foliage.

Very aromatic, when the leaves of Catmint are crushed they emit a strong lemon like fragrance.

In summer the entire plant is covered with sprays or spikes of small tubular lavender-like blue flowers.

Often seen in the border of the Cottage Garden but Nepeta is also used to edge paths and other walkways where the leaves will be bruised and their pleasant aroma can be enjoyed.

Six Hill Giant also makes a very good pot or container plant.

Great for attracting bees to the garden and of course cats love it.

Catmint prefers a site in full sun with well-drained soil and is fairly drought tolerant once established.

When the first blooms begin to fade give the plant a quick trim over and you will be rewarded with a second flush of both leaves and flowers.

Large overgrown or congested clumps of Nepeta should be lifted and divide in spring.

When replanting use lots of well-rotted organic matter.

All pictures used are of mature plants in full bloom, they are for illustration purposes only and may not necessarily reflect plants at all times of the year.

Our Nepeta plants are supplied ex. 9cm pots, they can be planted out immediately but better results may be obtained if they are grown on for a short time in a slightly larger container before transplanting to their final growing positions.

For tips on how to grow this  plant visit Greg Irwin he has a short informative video on the subject.

Our wide and varied range of Perennials can be view here.

Please remember, plant maintenance within our nursery is absolutely essential and means we need to prune back some items at certain times of the year to help maintain shape and encourage new growth.

We ask all our buyers to remember Nepeta is a living item and its appearance changes with the seasons.  Please don’t panic if the plant you receive looks different to the image on the website. This is quite normal and not a matter for any worry or concern, it is likely to be in perfect condition for the time of year. Particularly in autumn and winter many shrubs will lose their leaves and look rather bare, gaunt and stick-like and from August onwards many perennial plants may not even be showing above the soil.

 We want you to be happy with your purchase and all our Catmint are checked and inspected visually before packing.

Due to the nature of the product we cannot accept any responsibility for their failure after planting as pests, disease, poor horticultural practice, extremes of weather and many other factors outside our control all take their toll.
