Nepeta subsessilis. This Fleuroselect award winning Catmint cultivar is a first year flowering perennial. The foliage forms a compact dome shape and is topped by pastel blue flowers on 20cm (8") stems. Nepeta Blue Panther seeds are hardy to Zone 4, with blooms coming steadily from mid-summer to autumn. Expect flowers from June to September on the coast, possibly earlier once the plants become established. Use it in containers or as an edging to attract pollinating insects. Plant in full sun and space plants around 25cm (10") apart.

It can also be direct sown where it is to grow in September where winters are mild. Bottom heat will speed germination. Ideal temperature for germination: 21-27°C (70-80°F). Seeds should sprout in 10-20 days. |
| Starting |
Sow on the soil surface or barely covered with perlite. Thin plants or transplant to 30cm (12″) apart. |
| Growing |
This plant does very well in containers, raised beds, or borders in full sun to partial shade. After the main bloom, plants should be cut back hard to encourage a second bloom and tidy shape. |
| Seed Life | 5 years |
