Nepeta x faassenii 'Crystal Cloud' is an exciting, relatively new variety of catmint. Bred by Sonia Wright, a specialist nurserywoman from Wiltshire, N. 'Crystal Cloud' has very beautiful pale lilac flowers – a new colour in catmint. The foliage is grey-green and the plant has a tidy, upright habit with good branching, reaching 45cm.
Nepeta are popular plants for sunny spots in a border, gravel garden or container. They are easy to grow, flower for a long period throughout summer and are a favourite with bees. This variety makes a great companion for darker flowered varieties. We had the pleasure of launching this Catmint at the 2016 RHS Chelsea Flower Show.
