Notice
Many of our plants ship in a naturally dormant state during the winter months. This means some will arrive without leaves or visible growth above the soil line. Dormancy is a normal and healthy part of a plant’s life cycle during colder seasons—it helps protect the root system and prepares the plant for vigorous growth in spring. Rest assured, don’t worry if your plants look bare upon arrival—this is normal for the season, and fresh growth will emerge in spring.

Nepeta 'Cat's Pajamas' is an exceptional compact catmint variety built for gardeners who crave long-lasting beauty with minimal fuss. This dwarf perennial forms neat, ball-shaped mounds of aromatic gray-green foliage topped by spikes of rich indigo-blue flowers that bloom from early summer well into fall. Unlike typical catmints that bloom only atop stems, 'Cat's Pajamas' blooms abundantly from soil level to stem tips, delivering intense color and texture that elevate any garden space.
Ideal for smaller gardens, borders, and container planting, this variety thrives in full sun and well-drained soil, showing remarkable drought tolerance once established. Its deer- and rabbit-resistant foliage ensures your garden investment flourishes uninterrupted. Moreover, 'Cat's Pajamas' is a magnet for pollinators, attracting bees and butterflies that enliven your outdoor sanctuary while supporting local ecosystems.
Low maintenance and highly adaptable, this catmint variety tolerates urban conditions, including air pollution, making it perfect for city gardens and patios. It pairs beautifully with roses, shrubs, or mixed perennial beds, where its aromatic presence adds sensory delight and natural pest resistance. The fragrant flowers also make stunning additions to cut flower arrangements, bringing garden charm indoors.
Plant Nepeta 'Cat's Pajamas' about 18 to 20 inches apart to create vibrant sweeps of color or striking edging. Provide regular watering during establishment, but reduce after to enjoy a resilient, drought-friendly garden superstar.
Elevate your garden with the extraordinary beauty and benefits of Nepeta 'Cat's Pajamas' — the perfect blend of style, durability, and pollinator-friendly charm.
