Growing approximately 12-14 inches tall and 18-20 inches wide, it forms a dense, rounded clump that provides excellent color without taking up much space in the landscape.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBeginning in late spring to early summer, clusters of rich indigo-blue flowers appear along the stems, creating an exceptionally full display. Unlike some catmints that flower primarily toward the ends of their stems, Cat’s Pajamas produces flowers from near the base of the plant upward, helping create a dense mass of color. Rosy-purple calyxes remain attractive after the flowers fade and extend the plant’s seasonal interest.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCat’s Pajamas is an excellent choice for perennial borders, foundation plantings, edging, walkways, mass plantings, cottage gardens, rock gardens, or as a flowering groundcover.
