  • Why we like this plant

    Nepeta 'Junior Walker' is the perfect catmint for gardeners looking for a non-invasive, long-flowering, and pollinator-friendly perennial. Its compact size makes it ideal for smaller gardens, edging, and container planting, while its fragrant foliage and drought tolerance ensure it thrives with minimal care.

  • About this plant

    Nepeta 'Junior Walker' is a compact and improved version of the popular 'Walker's Low', offering the same abundant flowering and fragrant foliage in a smaller, well-behaved form. This sterile variety does not self-seed, making it an excellent choice for tidy borders, edging paths, and container planting. From late spring to early autumn, it produces delicate, tubular lavender-blue flowers that attract bees and butterflies. Its soft, grey-green aromatic foliage provides year-round texture, and its drought tolerance makes it ideal for dry, sunny gardens. This easy-care, deer-resistant perennial is a fantastic addition to cottage gardens, Mediterranean-style landscapes, and pollinator-friendly planting schemes.
