Looking for a gentler and softer palette of colors for our backyard, I found this cooling hue of catmint flowers a good way of calming the view. Aptly named, as the cats do seem to love it based on the occasional trampling they performed when I used to grow this, catmint makes for a fine perennial border plant. Its profuse clouds of light purple flowers held above silvery green foliage is an ideal antidote from the heat of summer to come.
I’m seeking out gentler and softer ways of going through this summer, and clouds of catmint may be one path to getting there.
