Description
Summer Magic Catmint is a resilient and richly flowering perennial perfect for Massachusetts gardens. This variety blooms continuously from May to September with deep lavender flowers set against vibrant green foliage. Unlike other catmints, Summer Magic maintains a tidy, upright form and resists flopping—even during heavy rain. It’s a low-maintenance, eye-catching addition to borders, rock gardens, and pollinator beds.
Massachusetts gardeners will love Summer Magic Catmint for its long bloom time and compact habit. It outperforms classics like ‘Walker’s Low’ and ‘Six Hills Giant’ by avoiding that mid-summer lull. While it’s part of the mint family, this variety doesn't attract cats, making it ideal for more structured garden settings. Summer Magic Catmint offers continuous color and sturdy performance season after season.
