This big "blue" surprise is a very promising plant that grows and looks well for the most of the season in our hot and humid climate of south-central Indiana and isn't bothered by heavier soil. It boasts a long flowering period, chic reddish fall color, and is pollinator friendly. We observed several species of native bees feeding on nectar. It's awesome that the genus Nepeta hasn't said its last word!
'Weinheim Big Blue' creates large mounds and spreads by rhizomes to form wider clumps (keep some room around for it to spread into). Its large, deep purple-blue flowers bloom from mid to late summer (longer in cooler areas or if deadheaded), surrounded by big, fresh green leaves. The foliage is aromatic, releasing an herbal, lemony scent when bruised and causing deer and rabbits to avoid feeding on it.
So far for us this has been a trouble-free perennial, and a great plant for filling in the middle part of the flower bed. Excellent cut plant and grows well in containers as well as in beds and borders.
Blooming Time: mid/end of June - mid/end of August
Size: 2.5' tall and wide
USDA Zones: 3/4 to 8
Culture: full sun, half sun; average to heavier soil (clay)
Moisture Needs: average to medium-moist
Deer/Rabbit Resistant: yes / yes
Attracts Butterflies or Pollinators: yes / yes
Attracts Hummingbirds: no
Pot Size: square 3.5" x 4" deep perennial pot
Plant Combinations: looks great with Hemerocallis (especially yellow, or yellowish), goes well with the majority of medium-sized or taller perennials (Aster, Echinacea hybrids, Iris, Monarda, Helenium, Heliopsis, Helianthus, Paeonia) and grasses
