Giant Catmint in full bloom in the garden

A three inch pot of Giant Catmint planted in early spring makes a striking display by early summer. Giant Catmint (the tall spiky purple stems off to the right) is a much more prolific bloomer than the traditional Blue Wonder Catmint and is about a foot taller when in bloom.

The photo below shows the same view in May, the following year. All catmints benefit from trimming about 80 percent of the way through their bloom. Cut back to the ground but do not scalp the ground.


	Catmint is one of the six plants chosen to be in our English Cottage Herb Garden Six Pack and in our Zone 5 Fragrant Herb Garden Six Pack.
