Junior Walker™ Catmint: Compact, Long-Blooming Nepeta for Small Spaces

Junior Walker™ nepeta (Nepeta 'Novanepjun') is a dwarf selection that inherits the non-reseeding habit of its popular parent 'Walker's Low' at just one-third the size. This compact perennial forms a tidy mound of aromatic blue-green foliage topped with lavender-blue flowers from mid-May through September—an exceptionally long bloom window. Reaching only 18 inches tall and spreading to 30 inches, it's perfect for perennial borders, containers, and edging walkways where its neat habit shines.

Growing Conditions

Plant in full sun for best flowering and foliage color. Junior Walker™ adapts to average, well-drained soils and tolerates drought once established. Its sterile nature means no unwanted seedlings, making it a low-maintenance choice for busy gardeners.
