How to Water
Water Nepeta regularly until established, keeping the soil slightly moist. Once established, it is drought-tolerant and requires minimal watering, only during prolonged dry periods.
How to Plant
Plant Nepeta in well-draining soil in a sunny location, although it can tolerate partial shade. Space plants 30-45cm apart. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant in, backfill with soil, and gently firm. Water thoroughly after planting.
