catmint

i planned to surround my garden picket fence last year with red, white and blue perennial flowers.  this walker's low catmint has been a wonderful selection, as it blooms throughout the season and provides a wealth of beautiful blue flowers.  it complements other blue flowers in the garden, such as the blue allium and blue flax.

since the catmint grows so well, i have divided the bushes a couple of times, and have been able to enjoy bursts of color in several areas along the fence line.  the catmint has required staking in order to keep it within the edged border.  i simply used garden twine and tied it to the fence.
