Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’ - 1Ltr Pot

Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’ is a hardy perennial catmint loved for its airy clouds of lilac-blue flowers and softly fragrant foliage, bringing long-lasting colour and movement to borders from early summer onwards.

Key Features

  • Produces abundant lilac-blue flower spikes over a long flowering season

  • Forms attractive mounds of silvery-green aromatic foliage

  • A nectar-rich plant that attracts bees and pollinators

  • Ideal for softening borders and edging pathways with its relaxed habit

  • A classic choice for cottage garden planting schemes

  • Suitable as a cut flower for informal arrangements

Product Description

Nepeta ‘Six Hills Giant’ is one of the most popular and widely grown catmints, prized for its generous display of soft lavender-blue blooms that rise above gently arching foliage. Its loose, billowing habit creates a naturalistic look, perfect for adding softness and flow to structured planting.

This variety works beautifully when planted in drifts, where it can spill gracefully over edges and weave through neighbouring plants. The aromatic leaves are not only appealing in the garden but are also famously loved by cats, adding an extra layer of charm.

Flowering from early summer and often continuing for months, this reliable perennial offers excellent seasonal interest. It thrives in sunny positions and pairs well with roses, ornamental grasses, and other pollinator-friendly plants.
