Nepeta stewartiana
A beautiful, slightly unusual catmint with delicate detail.
Nepeta stewartiana has upright stems of soft purple flowers, each with a pretty pale throat and fine speckling that gives it a lovely close-up charm. The flowers are airy but distinctive, and bees adore them.
It forms a neat, aromatic clump with bright green, scented foliage. Best in sun or light shade with free-draining soil, it suits naturalistic borders, cottage gardens and pollinator-friendly planting.

Note for Isle of Wight planting
A lovely choice for sunny Island gardens, especially where you want something pollinator-friendly but a little less commonly seen than the usual catmints.
Ideal Companion Plants from The Green Standard Range
* Salvia ‘Caradonna’, strong purple spires and excellent contrast
* Achillea ‘Lilac Beauty’, soft colour and flat flower heads for pollinators
* Gaura ‘The Bride’, airy white flowers to lighten the planting
* Stipa tenuissima, soft movement around the upright stems
* Eryngium ‘Fluela’, structure and silvery-blue contrast
🌟 The Green Standard Tip
Plant where you can see the flowers up close, the speckled throats are the best bit.
