Nepeta f. ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ brings the old-world charm of catmint into a smaller, tidier, downright irresistible form. This little bruiser stays compact but blooms like it’s trying to impress the saints—long wands of indigo-violet flowers rising early, lasting late, and humming with bees from the first warm days of spring until the season bows out.
Its foliage carries that familiar nepeta fragrance, soft and silvery, brushing your hand like a friendly parish cat making the rounds. Unlike leggier cousins, ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ keeps its shape, spilling just enough to soften borders, pathways, and the feet of roses without losing its composure.
Drought-tolerant, sun-loving, and almost embarrassingly easy to grow, it’s the sort of plant that makes a gardener look wiser and more disciplined than he may actually be. Plant it in drifts and let it charm the garden into a quiet, contented purr.
