| I have a mystery nepeta seedling that is blooming at only 5 inches tall. The only nepeta I have is Walker's Low. This plant has the same leaves, but is very short but the blooms are very dark purple. I thought Walker's Low was sterile but I guess it could be possible to get a seedling rarely. Any thoughts on what this plant is? I'll take a photo and post it too. |

| Sounds pretty! Since the foliage is light, the darker flowers might be showier. I have Walker's Low and Six Hills Giant. I don't think I've gotten volunteers from either one. Google says Walker Low is a hybrid. The parents are Nepeta racemosa and Nepeta nepetella. Mosly sterile but may produce an occasional seedling. |
