Notes
'Bramdean' nepeta (Nepeta grandiflora 'Bramdean') is a perennial for borders and low maintenance gardens. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. Its fragrant flowers open in early to late summer and again in early to late autumn, and butterflies and bees visit the blooms. Deer and rabbits tend to pass it by. It grows 24 to 36 inches tall.
Pairs well with Iris, Carnation, and Blue grama.
