Nepeta 'Magical Mr Blue Sky'

Nepetas are essential perennials for the border, offering height, excellent ground cover, and an extended flowering period. Nepeta Magical Mr Blue Sky produces tall flower spikes that reach up to 120cm, adding vertical interest to the middle or back of the border. Its sturdy stems make it resistant to wind, ensuring reliability. The blue-purple flowers bloom abundantly from May to September, and the dark purple calyces continue to provide colour after the individual flowers fade. With its dense, spreading habit, it serves as an excellent, low-maintenance weed suppressant that is drought-tolerant once established. Height: 120cm (47in). Spread: 1m (39in). Culinary note: The flowers, with their strong minty and spicy flavour, can be used sparingly in pasta or rice dishes. Please note that plant height and spread vary seasonally, so we list by pot size rather than a fixed plant size. The height and spread of the plant you receive will depend on the season, with arrival images serving as a general indication only.
