Catmint

Nepeta faassenii

Hardy to:             3a   
Plant Height:      10-24"
Spacing:               12-36"
Sun Preference:  Sun to Full Sun
Flower Color:     Purple


This will be another first for me to go along my south bed.

Attractive gray-green, oval leaves form mounds up to 2 feet high.
Flowers are lavender-blue with purple spots, held in loose spikes.
This is an aromatic plant which is adored by cats. As with many other
herbs, this is a nice companion plant with roses. As will all members
of the mint family, this is a vigorous, spreading plant. Cut back
spent flowers to encourage another set of blooms. source

Dave's Garden info although I am not sure that I have the 'Walkers Low' variety
