It forms a soft and natural clump, with small white to pale lavender flowers that bring a rustic touch to herb gardens, perennial borders, and naturalized landscapes. Its soft and light appearance pairs very well with lavenders, salvias, yarrows, grasses, and other full-sun plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow, Nepeta cataria prefers a sunny to lightly semi-shaded location, in well-drained, light, and moderately fertile soil.

It can be planted directly in the ground or grown in pots, especially if you want to better control its location or protect it from overly enthusiastic cats. Pruning after flowering helps keep the plant more compact and encourages fresh new growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally recognized as an aromatic and medicinal plant, Nepeta cataria is also very useful for attracting pollinators to the garden.
