Junior Walker Catmint (Nepeta × faassenii 'Junior Walker') is a compact, sterile dwarf cultivar 'Walker's Low' catmint. Prized for its aromatic gray-green foliage and lavender-blue blooms, it grows about 12 to 18 inches tall and spreads 24 to 30 inches wide. It is highly valued for being deer-resistant, drought-tolerant, and excellent for attracting pollinators.
-
Bloom Time: Late spring through early fall. Shearing or cutting it back hard after the first flush of blooms encourages heavy reblooming and maintains a tidy, mounded shape.
-
Habit: Dwarf and sterile, meaning it will not self-seed aggressively across your garden like some traditional catmints.
-
Hardiness: Thrives in USDA Zones 4–9.
-
Sunlight & Soil: Prefers full sun and average, well-drained soil. It establishes well in hot, dry conditions.
