'Snow Cat' is a tall, clump-forming catmint with real presence towards the back of a border. The foliage is the first thing to notice: ovate and wrinkled, it carries that characteristic aromatic quality of the genus. From summer right through to autumn, upright spikes carry clear white blooms — a long season that earns its place in any planting scheme.

Unlike many catmints, this one performs well in partial shade, where the white flowers show up beautifully against dark-leaved shrubs or deep green foliage. It will tolerate sun but appreciates a reasonably fertile, well-drained soil to give of its best.

Plant Notes

  • Care Guide:

    Grow in well-drained soil in full sun or partial shade. After the first flush of flowers, cut back to keep the plant compact and encourage another display. Leave the old stems and foliage over winter to provide hibernation shelter for ladybirds, then cut back hard in spring as new growth emerges.

    Lift and divide large, established clumps in spring or autumn to rejuvenate them. To raise new plants, take softwood cuttings in early summer.

  • Good to Know:

    Pollinator-friendly. Drought-tolerant once established. Aromatic foliage.

    Some Nepeta attract cats, particularly catnip (Nepeta cataria). They may roll among the stems and chew the leaves, so young plants may need protection from their attention.
