Planting & Care

1. Planting: First, select a location with plenty of sunlight – any area 6+ hours of sun is perfect. Make sure the soil is relatively dry and light. It doesn't love heavy, wet soil like clay. 

When you’re ready to plant your 'Cat's Pajamas,' dig a hole that’s about 2 times wider than and just as deep as the root ball, place the plant in the hole, backfill the soil, and water it well to settle the roots.

2. Watering: Water about once weekly or more often during the first season. In the following year after the roots are established, leave it alone! This catmint will be able to find its own water in the soil. 

3. Pruning: Cut the plant back to the ground during late fall or early spring to encourage new growth.
