Kitten Around Catmint

Small but full of personality, ‘Kitten Around’ Catmint is a compact, mounding perennial that delivers months of periwinkle-blue blooms while keeping a neat, well-behaved habit. Unlike its sprawling relatives, this variety stays low and dense, reaching just 12-14 inches tall and spreading 20-22 inches wide, making it ideal for borders, containers, and pathways. The soft, aromatic foliage isn’t just a delight for gardeners—it’s a natural deterrent to deer and rabbits, while bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds flock to its nectar-rich flowers. Drought-tolerant, heat-resistant, and thriving in tough conditions, ‘Kitten Around’ is the easy-care beauty your garden needs.
