Proven Winners® Cat’s Pajamas Catmint (Nepeta)

Proven Winners® Cat’s Pajamas Catmint (Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’) is a compact, award-winning perennial prized for its long-lasting lavender-purple blooms and tidy, mounded growth habit. Unlike older catmint varieties, this improved selection flowers from the base of the plant all the way to the tips, creating a fuller, more uniform display of colour from early summer into fall.

The soft, grey-green aromatic foliage provides a beautiful contrast to the vivid flower spikes, while also offering natural deer resistance. Its dense, low-growing form makes it an excellent choice for edging pathways, planting along borders, or incorporating into rock gardens and container arrangements. This variety maintains a neat appearance throughout the season, making it especially appealing for structured landscape designs.

In Alberta, Cat’s Pajamas performs exceptionally well in full sun and well-drained soil. It is highly drought-tolerant once established and thrives in hot, dry conditions common to Prairie climates. Its extended bloom period and low maintenance needs make it a reliable and versatile addition to both residential and commercial landscapes.
