Nepeta, Cats Pajamas - Trio of plants

Proven Winners' Nepeta ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is a catmint that’ll have your Indiana Zone 6a garden purring with delight—no kitty nip required! This compact perennial struts its stuff in full sun (6+ hours daily), because shade’s for napping cats, not this sun-loving stunner. It grows to a tidy 12-14 inches tall and 18-20 inches wide, forming a neat ball of aromatic, gray-green foliage—perfect for borders, rock gardens, or pots without turning your yard into a feline free-for-all. Blooming from late spring to early fall, its indigo-blue flower spikes rise above the leaves like a cat stretching after a snooze, with a little deadheading keeping the party going.

For gardening enthusiasts, ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is a purr-fect pick: drought tolerant once established, it sips water like a cat lapping cream, thriving in Indiana’s dry spells with well-drained soil—soggy roots make it hiss! Pollinators—bees, butterflies, and hummingbirds—swarm it like it’s a nectar nightclub, while deer and rabbits steer clear—apparently, they’re not invited to this cat party. Hardy in Zone 6a, it’s low-maintenance and mildew-resistant, shrugging off heat and humidity like a cool cat in shades. Plus, its minty scent might just tempt your actual felines for a roll—good luck keeping them out!

With its long bloom time and tidy habit, ‘Cat’s Pajamas’ is earlier and more compact than its cousin ‘Cat’s Meow,’ making it a floral rockstar that’ll have your garden buzzing—your neighbors might start meowing or wondering if you’ve secretly adopted a herd of pollinators! Plant it, and let this catmint claw its way into your heart.
