How about catmint. I mean the 12" variety from Wayside Gardens. I've had
it for about 4 yrs....great low maintenance plant, small grey-green leaves
& blue flowers that are very abundant. Takes full sun to partial shade &
drought tolerant. I feel like I'm writing for a garden catalogue.
"Dwarf catmint - napeta mussinii," I would presume (napeta x fassenii grows
to 2 feet, which is within the required height limits) . Maybe so, though I
haven't had success matching it against my deer-resistance sources. I've
considered "catmint" at Barton Springs Nursery, but something has kept me from
jumping on it.
Everything that I read says that cats love it - do they eat it, lay in it,
or what? When I gave a catnip ball to our cat when I was a kid, he played
with like he was drunk. The cat across the street already uses our mulch
for a litter box - I don't need it over more often.
