‘Purrisan Blue’ has everything today’s gardeners are looking for: a low maintenance, drought tolerant, deer resistant, long blooming perennial that looks great all season. Periwinkle blue flowers are coddled by dark purple calyxes just above the aromatic foliage from early summer into early fall. This is a very floriferous selection whose flower power is amplified by its having its flowers spaced closely together on the stems. The flowers can be white, pink, or lavender-blue. In year two, the plant maintains its compact mounding habit but nearly doubles its spread to just over two feet across. In its first year, ‘Purrsian Blue’ forms a small, perfectly rounded, densely branched clump of tiny, green leaves. Common Name: Catmint, Like ‘Cat’s Meow’, this selection shares an improved tidy habit, though it is a bit smaller and more compact in size overall. Different in habit from the low, edging types of Catmint, this species forms a bushy, upright mound of fragrant, glossy green leaves.
