Nepeta Chartreuse on the Loose
Catmint
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.
