Description
Nepeta racemosa 'Grog', also known as Catmint or Catnip, is a perennial variety with a compact habit and generous violet-blue flowering. Superb in mixed borders, at the base of Roses, and in Mediterranean gardens.
Native to the Caucasus and belonging to the Lamiaceae family, Nepeta racemosa Grog has a compact habit and grows to a height of 35 cm (14in) and a width of 45 cm (18in). Its deciduous leaves are narrow, ovate, and slightly downy, a beautiful silvery-green. Its large violet-blue flowers bloom from spring and continue throughout the summer on upright stems. It is an aromatic plant with a scent similar to Lemongrass. Catmint is also attractive to bees and butterflies.
Easy to grow and hardy down to at least -15 °, Nepeta racemosa 'Grog' thrives in sunny locations with light, moist, rich, and well-drained soil. It tolerates dry, poor, and rocky soils, but its flowers will be less abundant. Add coarse sand and gravel to improve drainage in heavy soil.
Nepeta racemosa 'Grog' can be used as a border plant, in rock gardens, or containers. It elegantly dresses the bare base of roses and complements Mediterranean gardens, alongside Cotton Lavender, Lavender and Helichrysum italicum.
Did you know that cats love Nepeta so much that they roll around in it? Its calming and euphoric effects can trigger surprising reactions in feline companions, but don't worry, the effects of Nepeta fade quite quickly and no serious addiction has ever been observed.

Planting and care
Nepeta racemosa 'Grog is very easy to grow, robust perennial, hardy down to -15°C (5°F). It thrives in sunny or lightly shaded positions, in ordinary, moist soil, always well-drained. You can plant in autumn, but it would be better done in spring so that the roots are well-developed before the winter cold. Let the clump dry out throughout the winter to protect the crown from the cold. Cut back in early spring, before new growth. Remove faded stems regularly to encourage more. You can divide the clumps when they become too large, in spring or autumn. It is worth noting that Nepetas are very tolerant of urban pollution and disease resistant but young shoots can sometimes be attacked by slugs, and its foliage may suffer from powdery mildew in very dry summers.

Hardiness is the lowest winter temperature a plant can endure without suffering serious damage or even dying. However, hardiness is affected by location (a sheltered area, such as a patio), protection (winter cover) and soil type (hardiness is improved by well-drained soil).
The flowering period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, etc.)
It will vary according to where you live:- In zones 9 to 10 (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), flowering will occur about 2 to 4 weeks earlier.
- In zones 6 to 7 (Germany, Poland, Slovenia, and lower mountainous regions), flowering will be delayed by 2 to 3 weeks.
- In zone 5 (Central Europe, Scandinavia), blooming will be delayed by 3 to 5 weeks.
In temperate climates, pruning of spring-flowering shrubs (forsythia, spireas, etc.) should be done just after flowering.
Pruning of summer-flowering shrubs (Indian Lilac, Perovskia, etc.) can be done in winter or spring.
In cold regions as well as with frost-sensitive plants, avoid pruning too early when severe frosts may still occur.
The planting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions located in USDA zone 8 (France, United Kingdom, Ireland, Netherlands).
It will vary according to where you live:
- In Mediterranean zones (Marseille, Madrid, Milan, etc.), autumn and winter are the best planting periods.
- In continental zones (Strasbourg, Munich, Vienna, etc.), delay planting by 2 to 3 weeks in spring and bring it forward by 2 to 4 weeks in autumn.
- In mountainous regions (the Alps, Pyrenees, Carpathians, etc.), it is best to plant in late spring (May-June) or late summer (August-September).
The harvesting period indicated on our website applies to countries and regions in USDA zone 8 (France, England, Ireland, the Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...) fruit and vegetable harvests are likely to be delayed by 3-4 weeks.
In warmer areas (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), harvesting will probably take place earlier, depending on weather conditions.
The sowing periods indicated on our website apply to countries and regions within USDA Zone 8 (France, UK, Ireland, Netherlands).
In colder areas (Scandinavia, Poland, Austria...), delay any outdoor sowing by 3-4 weeks, or sow under glass.
In warmer climes (Italy, Spain, Greece, etc.), bring outdoor sowing forward by a few weeks.
