Description
Nepeta ‘Snowflake’, also known as White Catmint, is a lovely plant that adds a touch of elegance to any garden. It produces delicate, pure white flowers from late spring to early autumn, with fragrant grey-green leaves that create a beautiful backdrop. Its arching stems form neat, soft mounds, making it a great choice for borders, pathways, or containers, adding brightness and gentle movement.
This plant grows to about 30-40 cm tall and spreads to 50 cm, making it perfect for smaller gardens or as an edging plant. When the leaves are touched, they release a fresh, herbal scent, making it enjoyable for the senses. Bees, butterflies, and other pollinators love it, and its long blooming season keeps your garden full of life for months.
Unlike some larger Catmint varieties, ‘Snowflake’ has a tidy growth habit and won’t take over your garden. It is low-maintenance, drought-tolerant, and thrives even in poor soil, making it reliable in tough conditions. Whether you pair it with pastel flowers for a soft cottage garden look or use it to contrast with bold blooms, Nepeta ‘Snowflake’ brings simple beauty wherever it grows.
