Description

Nepeta racemosa 'Snowflake' is a compact, drought-tolerant perennial prized for its long-blooming spikes of pure white flowers and aromatic, gray-green foliage. This charming cultivar forms a neat, low, mounding clump of small, ovate, scalloped, fuzzy gray-green leaves that release a pleasant, minty fragrance when brushed. From late spring through summer and often into early fall, it produces an abundance of airy, branched spikes covered in small, two-lipped, tubular, crisp white flowers, creating a soft, billowing, cloud-like effect. The flowers are highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators. With its excellent drought and heat tolerance, deer and rabbit resistance, and neat, compact habit, it is an outstanding choice for sunny borders, rock gardens, cottage gardens, edging, containers, and moonlight (white) gardens.
