Chartreuse on the Loose Catmint
Nepeta ‘Chartreuse on the Loose’
Vibrant, aromatic, and bursting with personality, Chartreuse on the Loose Nepeta adds a fresh twist to the classic catmint. This striking variety features soft lavender-blue flower spikes that bloom abundantly above bright chartreuse-yellow foliage, creating a luminous contrast that brightens borders, paths, and pollinator gardens all season long.
Compact and mounding in habit, this low-maintenance perennial grows just 12–18 inches tall and wide, making it ideal for edging, containers, or mass plantings. Its long bloom period—from late spring into fall—means extended color, while its fragrant foliage deters deer and rabbits.
Drought-tolerant and tough once established, this Nepeta thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It’s also a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, making it a standout choice for eco-friendly landscapes.
Bring light, texture, and pollinator power to your garden with Chartreuse on the Loose—a fresh, colorful take on a beloved perennial favorite.
