100% Peat Free Pollinator Friendly

Nepeta grandiflora ‘Dawn to Dusk’ is an upright catmint, self-supporting on strong dark stems clothed in aromatic grey-green foliage. Soft pink flowers rise above the foliage from summer through to autumn — an unusually warm colour combination for the genus, and one that is consistently attractive to bees and other pollinators throughout the season.

Well suited to the middle of a sunny border, it thrives in free-draining soil and is best avoided on heavy clay. Reliably floriferous and easy to grow in the right conditions.

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.
