Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’


The Perennial Plant Association awards the title of Perennial Plant of the Year to only one plant. This year it was a plant called Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’.

It was first introduced in Europe in 1988 and has become increasingly poplar every year since. Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ has these features:

  • Pretty blue-violet flowers
  • Attractive grey-green foliage
  • Ease of propagation
  • Long bloom time
  • Pest and disease resistant
  • Low maintenance requirements

Additionally, Nepeta ‘Walker’s Low’ is hardy in zones 3-8, grows up to 36 inches tall, does best in full sun but will tolerate shade in hot climates, prefers well drained soil and neutral pH, and is great for attracting butterflies and bees.
