Description

Nepeta govaniana is a perennial species, forming beautiful bushes with pale yellow flowers, instead of blue!

 

Nepeta govaniana is a large species forming a loose, branching clump, of very aromatic light green leaves with a multitude of small pale yellow flowers at the end of the stems in sparse spikes, quite late in the season.

It grows in the sun, in moist and well-drained soil. Plant Nepeta govaniana in a yellow garden, with Phlomis russeliana and Cloth of Gold yarrows.
