DESCRIPTION
Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low' produces spikes of lavender-blue flowers from late spring into early fall, creating a long season of color that attracts bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. Small, aromatic leaves are gray-green with softly scalloped edges that remains attractive throughout the growing season. The foliage releases a pleasant herbal fragrance when brushed, while the flowers are held above the leaves on arching stems.

It is well suited to borders, cottage gardens, pathways, and pollinator plantings, where its long flowering season and soft texture contribute lasting garden interest.
