Catmint

If you’re looking for a flower to light up your garden, Catmint is one of the best choices for you. They have heart-shaped, light green to gray-green leaves that grow opposite on a sturdy stem. They grow tubular flowers in a variety of violet, blue, purple, white, or pink colors. Some species may show petals spotted with small violet dots. With brilliant blooms and lightly fragrant, Catmin will become a stunning addition to your landscape. Catmint plants attract butterflies, bees, and other insects with their fragrant flowers and leaves. That makes your garden more harmonious.
