Nepeta govaniana
Height x Spread: 60cm x 45cm
This Nepeta is an unusual one with pale lemon-yellow flowers that appear over very fragrant lemon scented foliage. It would be ideal planted where you can benefit from this light fragrance given off as you brush past.
This edge of woodland species is happy in partial shade and any reasonable soil, it can tolerate moderately dry soil conditions once established. It makes a good branched plant, flowering in late summer and early autumn.
