Kit Kat Catmint is a long-blooming compact perennial with a low mounded habit and small green foliage that smells strongly of mint. Flower spikes covered with tiny fragrant lavender blue flowers bloom on sturdy stems continuously from late spring through summer attract butterflies, pollinators, and hummingbirds. Prefers sunny areas in well-drained soils. Tolerates light afternoon shade and drought.
