Nepeta x faassenii 'Tall Tails'

Nepeta faassenii ‘Tall Tails’
Catmint

Bring height, structure, and soft color to sunny plantings with this tall, upright Catmint. ‘Tall Tails’ forms a sturdy, landscape-worthy clump with lavender-blue flowers that begin early in the season, helping extend the bloom time in perennial borders.

This variety stands noticeably taller and more upright than classic Catmints like ‘Walker’s Low’, making it especially useful for the middle of borders, mass plantings, and larger landscape designs. Its aromatic foliage, drought tolerance, and reliable deer and rabbit resistance make it an easy-care choice for sunny gardens.

When in bloom, Nepeta is a favorite of bees and other pollinators. Its soft flower color pairs beautifully with coneflowers, daylilies, ornamental grasses, and other sun-loving perennials.
