Abstract

The present Nepeta plant was created by the gamma-ray mutagenesis of the ‘Walker's Low’ variety. A low mounding growth habit is displayed which is lower than that of the ‘Walker's Low’ variety. The foliage is medium green and provides a mint fragrance. Attractive generally upright purple-violet flowers are formed in abundance over an extended period of time. The plant can be grown to advantage as attractive ornamentation in parks, gardens, and residential settings.
