A plant similar to nepeta

9 replies

Hello
Catmint, nepeta is my favourite plant for the south facing garden, it's such a fuss free plant, I need some more plants similar to this for a seating area I am doing, drought tolerant they will need to be, anyone recommend anything? Not rosemary or lavender had no luck with those

Thank you

Thyme, oregano, rockroses, euphorbia, Erigeron karvinskianus
all do well in my south facing patch.

@BigDahliaFan thank you, I appreciate your reply

Salvia? They tend to be quite tolerant (although I managed to kill both these and nepeta last year. And mint. So possibly don't take my advice...)

What is the secret of killing mint?! It seems completely indestructible!

Don’t plant euphorbia in a seating area where people could brush against it. The sap and the sticky exhumation on the leaves can cause severe irritation, especially in the sun.

i love euphorbia and grow five sorts, but handle them with care.

I don't know! If I did I could hire myself out.
