Nepeta faassenii Junior Walker™ 2 Pack
If you love the classic look of 'Walker's Low' but need a more disciplined, compact habit, Nepeta 'Junior Walker'™ is your garden’s new best friend. This sterile hybrid is a "dwarf" version of the industry standard, offering the same sea of soft lavender-blue flowers without the tendency to flop or take over the entire garden bed. Starting in late spring, the plant becomes completely smothered in airy spikes of nectar-rich blossoms that continue to appear throughout the summer.
Beyond the blooms, 'Junior Walker' is a sensory delight. Its small, grey-green leaves are highly aromatic, releasing a refreshing minty scent whenever you brush past it. It forms a tidy, mounded shape that stays looking polished all season long. Because it is a sterile variety, it won't scatter seeds around your garden, making it a low-maintenance dream for busy gardeners who want maximum impact with minimum effort.
