We love Nepetas so we are really excited to try a catmint with bright chartreuse foliage. 'Chartreuse on the Loose' is a new introduction from Walters Gardens that features clusters of lavender blue flowers held just above the foliage. Unlike most catmints it does not require dead heading to rebloom.

Growing and Maintenance Tips
Nepeta is a very easy plant to grow and is adaptable to a wide range of conditions. It will easily tolerate poor soil and dry conditions. It can be clipped back in August to freshen the plant.
