Kitten Around Catmint (Nepeta x faassenii 'Kitten Around')

Kitten Around Catmint (Nepeta x faassenii 'Kitten Around') is a compact, sun-loving perennial grown for its aromatic gray-green foliage and its long season of lavender-blue flowers that bring dependable color to smaller garden spaces. It forms a neat, mounding clump that stays controlled and tidy, making it easy to use at the front of borders, along paths, and in foundation beds where you want a clean edge without a plant that flops. Bloom begins in late spring and can continue through summer, especially when the plant is trimmed back after the first flush. With its compact habit and steady flowering, Kitten Around Catmint makes an excellent focal point when you want a small, repeatable ribbon of blue that looks intentional all season.

Distinctive Features

The standout feature is the combination of compact size and strong bloom, delivering the classic catmint look in a plant that fits tighter layouts. Leaves are lightly fuzzy, aromatic, and gray-green, adding a calm, silvery tone that pairs well with nearly any palette. Flower spikes are lavender-blue and highly attractive to pollinators, keeping beds active through the bloom window. Like many catmints, it performs best in well-drained soil and typically looks its best when sheared after flowering to refresh foliage and encourage repeat bloom.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun is best; tolerates light shade but flowering is usually stronger with more sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil; performs best in average to lean soils and does not like wet feet.
  • Water: Moderate; water regularly during establishment, then water during extended dry spells.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8.
  • Habit: Compact, mounding perennial with airy flower spikes.
  • Mature Size: About 10 to 12 inches tall and 14 to 18 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a compact blue accent where you want steady bloom without a sprawling plant.
  • Border Edging: Creates a clean, repeatable edge along walks, patios, and perennial borders.
  • Small Gardens: Fits neatly into tighter spaces while still delivering strong pollinator activity.
  • Pollinator Plantings: Supports bees and beneficial insects during its long flowering season.
  • Companion Planting: Pairs well with roses, salvias, echinacea, coreopsis, and ornamental grasses for a balanced, sunny border.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep evenly watered during the first growing season; after that, water only during prolonged drought.
  • Shearing: Trim back after the first heavy bloom to encourage fresh growth and repeat flowering.
  • Soil Management: Avoid rich, constantly wet soils, which can reduce flowering and cause decline.
  • Fertilizing: Usually not needed; a light spring feeding is enough in poor soils.
  • Spacing: Provide airflow to help foliage stay clean in humid weather.
  • Dividing: Divide every few years if plants become woody or less vigorous.

Why Choose Kitten Around Catmint?

  • Dwarf Size: Stays very compact for edging, small beds, and front-of-border use.
  • Long Bloom Season: Lavender-blue flowers provide weeks of color with repeat bloom potential after shearing.
  • Aromatic Foliage: Soft, gray-green leaves add fragrance and refined texture.
  • Pollinator Support: Flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects through the season.
  • Strong Focal Point Value: Delivers tidy structure and dependable blue color in a small, easy-to-use plant.

If you want a compact catmint that stays neat and delivers a long season of lavender-blue blooms, Kitten Around Catmint adds focal point color, soft texture, and reliable performance in sunny, well-drained borders.

A DESERVED 5-STAR DOG TOY!
Color: Regular color
WOW! It’s rare that I ever give 5-stars, but here we are! My hound dog officially turned 1 a few days ago and this was one of her presents. Being an “aggressive chewer” is an understatement, and she’s officially met her match. These rope toys are beyond tough and sturdy, but made well for chewing without being dangerous. She has so much fun swinging them around, playing tug-o-war, and just lying down giving them her playful attention. It’s fun hearing her growl as she tries her best to show the rope who’s boss. If you’ve got a medium-to-large sized pup that loves to play, let ‘em know they’re a good girl/boy with these extremely durable and affordable rope toys!

good throw toy
Color: Regular color
My dog really likes this toy, but be aware that when they start to tug, it comes apart you will need to pick up the strings so they do not swallow them

Dog Rope Toy
Color: Regular color
These dog rope toys are a great value, especially since several come in one pack. My dog is a black Labrador and a very aggressive chewer, so she goes through toys quickly. Each rope typically lasts her a few weeks to a month, which is impressive given how strong her bite is. She absolutely loves these and plays with them constantly. The ropes do eventually come apart, and once the braid starts to unravel, I make sure to throw them out to prevent her from swallowing any strands. That said, these toys are very effective at keeping her busy and away from chewing household items like pillows or sofa cushions—which is a much cheaper alternative! Overall, these are durable, affordable, and entertaining toys for strong chewers, as long as you supervise your dog during playtime.

Cane Corso Approved (Eventually Destroyed)
Color: Regular color
I bought the Forfon Tough & Strong Dog Toy for Aggressive Chewers for my Cane Corsos — and if you know Corsos, you know they don’t “chew.” They conduct demolition projects. First impression? Solid. Thick material, strong stitching, felt durable in hand. I actually had hope. Dangerous, I know. For about two weeks, this toy held its own. Tug sessions? Survived. Full jaw clamp tests? Passed. Backyard wrestling matches? Still standing. Then… week three happened. Let’s just say my dogs eventually discovered its weakness and turned it into modern art. But honestly? For aggressive chewers of this size and strength, lasting two weeks is basically a gold medal performance. Pros: ✔ Truly tougher than most toys we’ve tried ✔ Kept my dogs entertained ✔ Withstood serious chewing pressure Cons: • Not indestructible (especially against Cane Corso-level jaws) • Eventually surrendered to persistence If you have medium to strong chewers, this will probably last a long time. If you have giant, determined jaw athletes like mine, expect a respectable lifespan — not immortality. 4 stars because nothing survives forever in this house… but this one fought bravely. 🐶💪
