More upright than typical catmint, `Summer Magic’ holds its ample-sized, pale violet-blue flower spikes above bright green foliage. These large flower clusters bloom in profusion atop `Summer Magic’s never-flopping stems. The sturdy habit and free flowering nature ensures this Nepeta will ‘magically’ remain lovely all summer long. For moderate- to large-scale planting, consider layering this upright Nepeta between drifts of companions.

Care

Watering:

`Summer Magic' Nepeta is moderately drought tolerant but benefits from occasional watering, to maintain soil in a moist but not wet condition, during the summer

Fertilizing:

`Summer Magic' Nepeta is a moderate feeder, benefiting from a couple of annual applications of slow release fertilizer. A spring application of a 3-1-2 ratio (such as a 15-5-10) can be applied at a rate of about 10 pounds per 1000 square feet, and during early fall, an application of a 2-1-2 ratio (such as a 10-5-10) can be applied to encourage root development and cold hardiness.

Pruning:

`Summer Magic' Nepeta should be enjoyed all winter long, then, during early April before it begins to grow again, it should be pruned or mowed back to ground level.
