Catmints are very rewarding and aromatic perennials that naturally fit into every garden. They are excellent for mixed flower beds and are known as the perfect companions for roses. What's more, lower-growing varieties easily thrive in containers on the terrace.

Most species love the sun and well-drained soil. Thanks to this, they handle summer dry spells brilliantly. Many catmints release fragrant essential oils that irresistibly attract cats, while you can enjoy their rich blooming in shades of blue, purple, and white.

These plants will liven up your space not only with their scent but also by attracting swarms of bees and butterflies. If you trim them back after their first bloom, they will quickly sprout again and delight you with another wave of flowers well into autumn.
