Nepeta 'Purrsian Blue' is a very compact seedling selection from the popular Nepeta x faassenii 'Six Hills Giant' (N. racemosa x N. nepetella) from the Walters Gardens breeding program. Nepeta 'Purrsian Blue' has a very compact 18" tall x 28" wide clump...a tighter habit than any other nepeta we've grown. The tiny grey-green, aromatic, deer-resistant foliage adorns the stems, giving the effect of a vigorous calamintha. The very floriferous Nepeta 'Purrsian Blue' is smothered with tiny blue-purple flowers from early summer into early fall. Good drainage, plenty of sun, and gentle cats are the keys to long term success.
