About This Plant
'Kitten Around' is the compact catmint that solves all the small-space problems. Where standard catmints sprawl 2 to 3 feet wide, 'Kitten Around' stays a tidy 12 to 14 inches tall and 20 to 22 inches wide, forming a dense, rounded mound of aromatic blue-green foliage. Above it rise periwinkle blue flowers held in rosy purple calyxes, creating a two-tone effect that's more detailed and charming up close than it looks in photos.
This cultivar was selected specifically for its tight, non-sprawling habit, making it ideal for container gardening, edging a path or patio, or tucking into spots where larger catmints would take over.
On the Oregon coast, 'Kitten Around' works wonderfully in a mixed patio planter or along the front edge of a sunny border.
