Notes
'Psfike' nepeta (Nepeta 'Psfike') is a perennial for ground cover. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and dry to average soil. It grows 9 to 12 inches tall and spreads 12 to 18 inches. Lavender flowers open in late spring, again in early to late summer, and into early autumn. It is not a favorite of deer or rabbits, though hungry ones will eat almost anything.
Pairs well with Blue grama, Panicle hydrangea, and Gardenia peony.
