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.

Translation not Literal!
Format: Hardcover, Format: Hardcover
The fist volume had a more literal translation then the second. If first Clement and Didache are in your reading list, Shepard of Hermas will fit there too!

At times it has been somewhat repetitive and tedious to read
Format: Hardcover
One of the earliest books in Christianity, The Shepherd of Hermas was probably written around 140AD, and avidly read for the first few hundred years. Likely its failure to become one of the recognized books of the Canon (Bible) had something to do with its fall-off in popularity. Today, while an Apocryphal book from the age of Apostolic Fathers, it seems arcane, and somewhat desultory. Nevertheless, one can see this book as a vision, a dream, or even an attempt to describe elements of purgatory. Both Latin and Greek copies, at least in part have been found, there are also parts missing which make reading it a bit of a challenge. At times it has been somewhat repetitive and tedious to read. I read the edition and translation from the Greek by Bart D. Ehrman: "The Apostolic Fathers Vol. II" from the Loeb Classical Library. The original author was claimed by some to be the brother of Pope Pius I. It is interesting to have a view into what the Council Fathers were looking at when deciding what to add to the Canon, and what not to add. The probings by our minds, between the dark and the daylight, are not so different a few thousand years later. How is God going to judge me and my sins? What must I do to prepare? What is within my ability and what is not? And where do I fit in His Kingdom?

NOT JUST FOR EASTER
Format: Paperback, Format: Paperback
I ordered this book firstly because it talks about the Bible. It's meant for someone who wants to read something meaningful in the weeks leading up to Easter. It’s a thoughtful, well-written devotional that can help you to reflect on the word of God and the significance of Christ’s death and resurrection. The best thing about this book is that it’s designed as a 30-day reading plan, and that makes it easy to incorporate into your daily routine. Each day’s reading is only about one and 3/4 of a page - short enough to fit into a busy schedule, but each devotional is still meaningful. I think it's designed like that so you can do a quick reading, like inthe morning when you get up and have your morning tea, or when you're in bed at night. It also gives you something to reflect on throughout the day. The devotionals don't just focus on Easter, it's based on passages throughout the Bible. It shows you how scriptures ultimately lead to the resurrection of Jesus Christ. All the way from Genesis to Revelation, it defines how God's plan of redemption through the cross has been laid out for years, long before Jesus's birth (and after his death and resurrection). Each devotional has reflection questions to make you think about what you read, along with a prayer. This would be the perfect book for someone who wants to get into reading the Bible but doesn't know where to start. It has a lot of Biblical insight and depth. Its simple but powerful and emotionally moving. It would literally take you about 5-7 minutes of your day to read each devotional, and it gives you something to reflect on the rest of the day. The thing about it is that it isn't just for Easter; this can be read any time someone wants a Christ-centered devotional to lift their spirits or to learn more about the Bible. I would definitely buy this again for a gift, and will be looking into other devotionals by this author. I’m very happy with this book and would definitely give it five stars, and if you are questioning your faith - Christ died for you, all you have to do is ask for clarity, and He will provide.
