Blue Cloud Catmint thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s highly adaptable to dry, sandy, or rocky conditions, and is one of the best low-maintenance perennials for hot, sunny spots. Avoid heavy clay or overly wet soils to prevent root rot.
This compact catmint variety grows to about 12–18 inches tall and 18–24 inches wide, forming a tidy, mounding shape. It’s excellent for borders, rock gardens, pollinator beds, and edging, and works well even in small garden spaces or containers.
Blue Cloud blooms from early summer into fall, often from June to September. It produces a misty cloud of soft lavender-blue flowers that continuously attract pollinators and provide extended seasonal interest.
Yes—Catmint is highly deer- and rabbit-resistant. Its fragrant, minty foliage is unappealing to most browsing animals, making it a dependable choice for gardens affected by deer.
Absolutely. Catmint is a magnet for bees, butterflies, and beneficial insects. Its long bloom time and abundance of flowers make it one of the best perennials for supporting pollinators throughout the growing season.
