Catmint (Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low')
In this Soto Masterclass we introduce the Catmint, otherwise known as Nepeta racemosa 'Walker's Low'.
Max highlights why the catmint is a superstar in the Soto edit: it has a long flowering season, has a beautiful scent and is loved by pollinators.
The Catmint thrives in the sun but can tolerate being in the partial shade. Max demonstrates how to cut the plant back after it has flowered to encourage a second flush and he suggests using a liquid feed after this has been done.
