Description: ‘Select’ Catmint is a variation of the species of catmint that is native to Turkey and northern Iran. It is a gray-leaved variety with terminal whorls of tubular purple flowers. It is an upright, mounded plant with wiry stems and aromatic leaves. ‘Select’ is a selection with more vivid flowers, less sprawling, and a slightly more upright habit than the straight genus/species. This variety does not reseed.

Care: Trim after flowering to keep the plants compact and en- courage a second flowering. It can be cut in half or two-thirds depending on how sprawled out it has become. The stems often root as they sprawl, and they are easy to transplant and divide in the spring or fall.
