Nepeta faassenii 'Walker's Low' (Catmint)???

Thank you, Flora. I thought maybe it was except the couple catmints I had years ago were never so floriferous.

RE: Purple perennial ID

I'd be inclined agree. Walker's Low Catmint. Here's a link to my pics within a post I responded to last year. (Sorry they are so gigantic. Was still learning how to post pics back then.) But maybe that will help you identify yours better.

There are three.....bloomed, the 'dead' bottom part, and then before it bloomed. The first one isn't fully bloomed. It flowered MUCH more....and stayed that way long into fall.

Only difference I see is that yours grows upright and mine splays out. But that may be because of type of sunlight. I get early AM sunrise and it crawls across in front of plant until it disappears to the other side around 2 or 3 PM behind a house. It's facing E/SE. Hope this helps.

BTW, yours are beautiful !!

Thank you, Bonnie. I wish that pic was mine but it is from an New Jersey horticultural event. I saw the pick and wanted the plant! Your's is lovely too.
