Description

Soft clouds of lavender-blue flowers of Nepeta 'Neptune Bokratune' billow up from neat, compact mounds of scented foliage—what a delight for the senses! Swathes of Nepeta are often used to make a great backdrop for other perennials, but bursting from their spiky calyces, the abundant blooms of Nepeta 'Neptune Bokratune' are much larger than average, and are generously speckled with rich purple. There’s no doubt that this can be a bona-fide feature plant in its own right.    

The enticing flowers of Nepeta 'Neptune Bokratune' will be popular with pollinators, so why not partner up with bee-friendly Echinacea 'Pretty Parasols' and Campanula 'Caroline' to create the ultimate all-you-can-eat summer buffet for the bees and butterflies! Happy in a sheltered or exposed spot, and tolerant of a range soil types, this delightful catmint just needs to plenty of sunshine to thrive. Trim back stems after the initial flush of flowering, and you'll be richly rewarded with further blooming later in the season.

Useful information

    • Soak the Nepeta 'Neptune Bokratune' roots in water for 3-6 hours prior to planting

    • Plant your "Catmint" bare roots into temporary pots with a multipurpose compost in spring and grow-on in a sheltered spot outdoors

    • Choose a pot which comfortably fits the bare roots. Some have a noticeable crown which should be just below the soil surface with any top growth exposed. Some varieties are a length of root which should be planted lengthways and shallowly (1-2cm deep).

    • Plant out into borders or permanent containers in late spring or early summer once in full growth. Choose a position in sun or shade depending on the variety.
