Blue Wonder Catmint (Nepeta racemosa) is a compact, aromatic perennial herb celebrated for its abundant clusters of small, tubular, lavender-blue flowers and soft, gray-green, scalloped foliage. The plant forms neat, rounded mounds that release a pleasant, minty fragrance when brushed or crushed. Also known simply as Catmint, it belongs to the mint family and is native to the rocky slopes and open areas of the Caucasus and parts of Asia.
In the crop, herb, and medicinal category, it is valued for both ornamental beauty and herbal uses—its leaves and flowers have been traditionally used in teas and folk remedies, and like other Nepeta species, it can have a stimulating effect on cats. Blue Wonder Catmint is highly attractive to pollinators such as bees and butterflies, contributing to biodiversity in gardens. Its combination of fragrant foliage, long-lasting blooms, and multi-purpose value makes it a versatile choice in both decorative and herbal plantings.
Blue Wonder Catmint has a typical overall height between 1’-2’6” (30-76 cm) and spread diameter of 2’-3’6” (61-107 cm).
