Cat's Meow Catmint (Nepeta faassenii 'Cat's Meow')

Cat's Meow Catmint (Nepeta faassenii 'Cat's Meow') is a sun-loving perennial grown for its tidy, upright habit and its long season of lavender-blue flowers that bring reliable color to borders and foundation plantings. It blooms heavily from late spring into summer, and with a quick trim after the first flush, it often reblooms and keeps the garden looking fresh well into the warm season. Compared with older catmint types that can sprawl or flop, Cat's Meow stays more vertical and compact, making it easier to design with and easier to keep looking clean. With its steady bloom, aromatic foliage, and strong garden structure, Cat's Meow Catmint makes an excellent focal point along paths and at the front of beds where consistent color matters.

Distinctive Features

The standout feature is the upright, non-flopping habit, which keeps flower spikes held neatly above the foliage and maintains a finished look without constant staking or correction. Leaves are gray-green, lightly fuzzy, and aromatic, adding soft texture even when the plant is between bloom cycles. The flower color is a clear lavender-blue that pairs easily with warm-toned perennials and contrasts beautifully with yellow, white, and pink blooms. It is also a dependable pollinator plant, drawing bees and other beneficial insects throughout its bloom period.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun is best; tolerates light shade but may flower less.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil; performs best in average to lean soils and does not like wet feet.
  • Water: Moderate; water regularly during establishment, then water during extended dry spells.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 3 to 8.
  • Habit: Compact, upright perennial with dense flower spikes.
  • Mature Size: About 16 to 20 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a reliable blue accent where its upright habit keeps beds looking neat and intentional.
  • Border Edging: Creates a clean, repeatable line along walks, patios, and perennial borders.
  • Foundation Planting: Adds long-blooming color and soft texture without looking messy or overgrown.
  • Pollinator Plantings: Supports bees and beneficial insects during a long flowering season.
  • Companion Planting: Pairs well with roses, salvias, echinacea, rudbeckia, and ornamental grasses for a balanced, colorful look.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Water consistently the first season; after that, water during prolonged drought.
  • Shearing: Trim back after the first heavy bloom to encourage fresh growth and rebloom.
  • Soil Management: Avoid overly rich or constantly wet soils, which can reduce performance.
  • Fertilizing: Usually not needed; a light spring feeding is enough in poor soils.
  • Spacing: Provide airflow to help foliage stay clean in humid weather.
  • Dividing: Divide every few years if clumps become woody or less vigorous.

Why Choose Cat's Meow Catmint?

  • Non-Flopping Habit: Upright growth keeps flower spikes neat and maintains a clean border edge.
  • Long Bloom Season: Heavy late spring bloom with strong potential for repeat flowering after shearing.
  • Aromatic Foliage: Soft, gray-green leaves add texture and a polished look between bloom cycles.
  • Pollinator Support: Flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects through the season.
  • Strong Focal Point Value: Delivers dependable blue color and tidy structure where the eye naturally lands.

If you want a catmint that stays neat, blooms for a long season, and supports pollinators, Cat's Meow Catmint adds focal point color and reliable structure in sunny, well-drained beds.

Wow! Quality glasses with a beautiful design.
Color: Black/Dark Grey, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
It seems like you're frequently given the option between fashion or quality in the sunglass marketplace. A lot of the fashion eyewear simply falls short on lens quality, durability, or comfort. These glasses have it all. The lens are fantastic and clear, the quality of the frame is very high end, and the comfort of wearing is incredible. Then there is the fashion aspect. These are true swarovski crystals and are every bit as gorgeous as you would expect from the name. I'm thrilled with these sunglasses!

beautiful color and style
Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters, Color: Dark Green/Azure Internal Mirrored Silver, Lens Width: 53 Millimeters
These are really beautiful sunglasses, with a thick, sturdy green frame and gorgeous emerald green crystal accents at the temples. The hinge is set inside the crystal, so when you fold the glasses, the crystal splits into two parts. It's a neat feature and really unique. The lenses are green but lightly mirrored. I love the style and color of these glasses, as they are definitely unusual and people will notice them. They are, unfortunately, a little tight on my head. I am going to take them to my optician and see if they can be adjusted. I also believe these may have been tried on or used and returned, as the lenses are both smudged like someone handled them with dirty hands. The glasses do not seem to be damaged, but I would have expected a pristine pair at this price point. They come with paperwork and a lens cloth, along with a case for carrying and storage. Paperwork says they are made by Luxottica, which is a high-end, luxury eyewear company in Milan, Italy, that owns or licenses many popular luxury eyewear brands. They are lovely glasses with very good quality, a fun upscale look, and tons of style. I like them a lot and expect many compliments on this eye-catching pair!
