Nepeta subsessilis ‘Blue Panther’

Compact catmint plant with long-lasting mauve-blue flowers from mid-summer

Established plants in 2 litre containers

Description

Nepeta subsessilis ‘Blue Panther’ is, like most garden nepetas, a brilliant garden plant. It has fresh, almost lime-green, aromatic and lightly toothed foliage that grows in compact and neat clumps and provides a fresh, bright presence in the garden even before the flowers emerge. The flowers emerge from early summer onwards on short stems above the foliage, and have a lovely mauve-blue colour that lasts for a long time right through the middle of the summer. The flowers also have really unusual electric blue anthers – which may have given rise to the naming of the cultivar! The plants also grow really compact and neatly, making them great for container growing.
These established, garden-ready plants have been grown at our nursery in Cornwall and are supplied in 2 litre pots. They will grow to a maximum of around 50cm high and wide (22 inches).

Growing Advice

Nepeta subsessilis ‘Blue Panther’ is an easy to grow plant that is very hardy and reliable and doesn’t demand too much – just a spot with a decent amount of sun and soil that is reasonably well-drained – though they will respond to rich soils with more lush growth and flowers. They can be attractive to slugs when young, but will be left alone once they have matured a little. You may want to pinch out the young stems as well to encourage more branching, a more compact form, and more flowers.

Before ordering with us please make sure you read the pages below to help you understand what to expect when buying plants online from a nursery such as ours. For instance the photographs in our listings are intended to give you an impression of our plants in their mature (and usually flowering) form. The last photograph in this listing provides an indication of the size of the plant to expect when you buy from us. It is not a guarantee of the way the top growth will look when you receive the plant(s), as this will depend on the time of the season you have ordered the plant and it simply isn’t possible to provide photographs of the plants at every stage of growth during the year. Plants ordered in spring, autumn or winter for example may have much reduced or tired top growth that will regrow later in the season / the following season and you should be aware of this when ordering at these times. If you have any questions about the current condition of any of our plants please do get in touch, or see the links below for more information about what to expect.
