| Description |
Catmint is the garden's chill-out champion—soft, fragrant, and buzzing with pollinators. It blooms like it's on vacation, needs almost no care, and handles Chicagoland's heat and drought like a pro. Bees love it, deer avoid it, and it looks great spilling over borders. Plant catmint—your garden will instantly exhale. |
