Nepeta Magical Mr. Blue Sky
A dramatic, easy care perennial.
This upright, bushy, yet sturdy, and non-flopping perennial is perfect for large perennial or mixed borders or as a standout in a mass planting. With flowers from side to side and top to bottom for most of the summer, this periwinkle-flowered gem will brighten any sunny garden spot and attract loads of pollinators.
Selected by Kolster, B.V. in the Netherlands, this flashy perennial looks great in a garden and also makes a lovely specimen in a 1 or 2-gallon nursery pot. The flowers are substantial. Both the plant and flowers hold up to wind and rain, making it the perfect perennial for all summer color and one that can certainly take just about any summer weather element mother nature throws its way.
This is a 3' tall perennial with so much pizazz, you need this in your garden.
