Proven Winners® Cat's Meow Nepeta

The Purr-fect Purple Perennial for a Low-Maintenance Garden

If you’re looking for a low-maintenance, high-impact perennial, Proven Winners

® Cat's Meow Nepeta is the one to plant.

As the 2025 Proven Winners National Landscape Perennial of the Year®, this standout variety boasts a naturally compact, mounded habit that stays neat and tidy all season long. Its fragrant, gray-green foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the abundant lavender-blue blooms that appear from early summer to fall.

This cold-hardy, heat- and drought-tolerant perennial thrives in full sun and requires little upkeep, making it an excellent choice for borders, garden beds, and containers.

Plus, it’s a magnet for pollinators—butterflies, and hummingbirds flock to its blooms. While your cat might love the scent, deer and rabbits will stay away, ensuring your plants remain untouched.

Designed for effortless beauty, Cat’s Meow Nepeta is a continuous bloomer that will keep your garden vibrant for months.

Its dense, upright growth means it holds its shape without pruning, so you can spend more time enjoying your garden rather than maintaining it.
