'Pink Cat' nepeta (Nepeta nervosa 'Pink Cat') is a perennial for borders, containers, and low-maintenance beds. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full sun and dry to average, sandy, loamy, or chalky soil. It blooms from early to late summer and attracts butterflies and bees. Deer and rabbits rarely make it their first choice. The leaves are fragrant, and the plant tolerates drought.
