Kitten Around Catmint (Nepeta x faassenii 'Kitten Around')

Kitten Around Catmint (Nepeta x faassenii 'Kitten Around') is a compact, sun-loving perennial grown for its aromatic gray-green foliage and its long season of lavender-blue flowers that bring dependable color to smaller garden spaces. It forms a neat, mounding clump that stays controlled and tidy, making it easy to use at the front of borders, along paths, and in foundation beds where you want a clean edge without a plant that flops. Bloom begins in late spring and can continue through summer, especially when the plant is trimmed back after the first flush. With its compact habit and steady flowering, Kitten Around Catmint makes an excellent focal point when you want a small, repeatable ribbon of blue that looks intentional all season.

Distinctive Features

The standout feature is the combination of compact size and strong bloom, delivering the classic catmint look in a plant that fits tighter layouts. Leaves are lightly fuzzy, aromatic, and gray-green, adding a calm, silvery tone that pairs well with nearly any palette. Flower spikes are lavender-blue and highly attractive to pollinators, keeping beds active through the bloom window. Like many catmints, it performs best in well-drained soil and typically looks its best when sheared after flowering to refresh foliage and encourage repeat bloom.

Growing Conditions

  • Sun: Full sun is best; tolerates light shade but flowering is usually stronger with more sun.
  • Soil: Well-drained soil; performs best in average to lean soils and does not like wet feet.
  • Water: Moderate; water regularly during establishment, then water during extended dry spells.
  • USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8.
  • Habit: Compact, mounding perennial with airy flower spikes.
  • Mature Size: About 10 to 12 inches tall and 14 to 18 inches wide.

Ideal Uses

  • Focal Point: Use as a compact blue accent where you want steady bloom without a sprawling plant.
  • Border Edging: Creates a clean, repeatable edge along walks, patios, and perennial borders.
  • Small Gardens: Fits neatly into tighter spaces while still delivering strong pollinator activity.
  • Pollinator Plantings: Supports bees and beneficial insects during its long flowering season.
  • Companion Planting: Pairs well with roses, salvias, echinacea, coreopsis, and ornamental grasses for a balanced, sunny border.

Low Maintenance Care

  • Watering: Keep evenly watered during the first growing season; after that, water only during prolonged drought.
  • Shearing: Trim back after the first heavy bloom to encourage fresh growth and repeat flowering.
  • Soil Management: Avoid rich, constantly wet soils, which can reduce flowering and cause decline.
  • Fertilizing: Usually not needed; a light spring feeding is enough in poor soils.
  • Spacing: Provide airflow to help foliage stay clean in humid weather.
  • Dividing: Divide every few years if plants become woody or less vigorous.

Why Choose Kitten Around Catmint?

  • Dwarf Size: Stays very compact for edging, small beds, and front-of-border use.
  • Long Bloom Season: Lavender-blue flowers provide weeks of color with repeat bloom potential after shearing.
  • Aromatic Foliage: Soft, gray-green leaves add fragrance and refined texture.
  • Pollinator Support: Flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects through the season.
  • Strong Focal Point Value: Delivers tidy structure and dependable blue color in a small, easy-to-use plant.

If you want a compact catmint that stays neat and delivers a long season of lavender-blue blooms, Kitten Around Catmint adds focal point color, soft texture, and reliable performance in sunny, well-drained borders.

A Fox Amongst the Wolves
Format: Kindle
Collette has been forgotten about her whole life. Her parents don't bother with her, others don't try either once they realize she uses sign language to speak, and she's a shifter surrounded by humans that hate her kind. On her 18th birthday, she runs away. She takes the train and then bus wherever it can get her as far from home as possible. A missed bus brings her and a mysterious but kind man to Willowdale. What happens next is a story of fated mates, shifters, magic, new best friends and found family, and a stolen child. I'm sad this was a shorter read but only because of how much I loved Collette, Dylan, Hunter, Luca, Lena, and the others in their community. I love how detailed the characters are even with the shorter story. You can tell their characteristics easily, and the lead in to book two is done so well. I loved this insta love book with just the right amount of drama.

An easy PNR book to cure book hangovers.....
Format: Kindle
I enjoyed this as a short story; but nothing truly pulled me into this world to want to keep reading each story. I can sense the overarching villain arc w/ the HAF; yet it still wasn't enough to capture me long-term. It felt like too much focus was placed on progressing the romance part that everything else took a non-existent back seat. This did work well for my intentions of getting over a book-hangover slump. So there's that lol. A Tip to overcome a PNR book hangover, from a wonderful series or novel......read a trope-y, lighthearted, PNR that is easily predictable but adorable. Like this book. Honestly, I'm rarely into short stories that are turned into a ridiculous amount of books on different PNR characters. So I'm not the best at judging the merits of these stories. I'm a long-haul type of reader that lives for a series surrounding 1 lead female character & her harem (or singular partner). Occassionally, I'll find a series of short stories that are interesting enough to finish or pull me in completely. The rarity of that is countable on 1.5 hands, compared to the literal hundreds of fiction books I've read lol. With all of that, I will say this was fun because of the FMC's difficulties growing up & how that made her strong, the end reveals of her life, & the cute Epilogues. I never felt truly connected to any of the characters; but I did feel slightly compelled to just finish it to see how plot points would end. Unfortunately, due to a lack of character backstory explanations, I still don't understand Collete's "magic". Very little time was given to flesh out the backstory of the world this occurs in. I couldn't even guess what type of magic occurs in this world, aside from what little was revealed. A random scene sticks out to me...... we're introduced to a new magic type, in passing. No dialogue to expand. No hint at anything really. Then the scene moves on. That moment felt pointless to even mention, afterwards. It felt like the author was more concerned w/ romance than storyline. This is a common issue I have w/ short stories....authors write them for whatever reason; but too often it's an "either or" theme.....EITHER the author is writing ONLY for romance w/ storyline taking a minor role OR writing ONLY for storyline w/ some romance that ends up feeling forced. As I mentioned earlier, only a handful of short stories series have ever had a balance of both sides, for me, that I wanted to read all of them.

Great RH shapeshifting romance!
Format: Kindle
Oh my gosh, I adored this book! Voiceless is set in a blended reality with humans, witches, and shapeshifters of all kinds, but with a significant lack of acceptance from the humans that results in violence. And I am sucker for fated-mates/insta-connection and you get that in heaps and bounds in Voiceless! Colette’s introduction to the supernatural world added some challenges on top of not being able to effectively communicate with those around her. I enjoyed the overall plot; that there was danger and confrontation and resolution, albeit not nearly as much as I wanted. Voiceless is a short read and things escalate at a fast pace and a resolution is reached just as quickly. As a result, I think we miss out a bit on relationship and character development that we could’ve had if the book was little longer. While this is a RH/why-choose, most, if not all of the spice, is exclusively MF.

Cute
Format: Kindle
Very insta-love, but also cute with likable characters. The plot was good, though lacking in depth. The spice was fairly abrupt and lack-luster. Am enjoyable read, overall.

Another great story from this author!
Format: Kindle
I absolutely loved this book. Colette’s story was so sad yet sweet in the sense that yes she ran away from her controlling parents after hearing about arrangements being made for her. But sweet because fate was working in her favor because she ran into one of her mates on the bus. Turns out she had two more back in the town she was heading for. Dylan, Luca, & Hunter turned out to be exactly what Colette needed because the ease with which she felt comfortable around was just perfect. This was a fast burn with a pretty quick paced story as well, especially at towards the end, it all picked up pretty quickly towards the end. I absolutely loved the sweet factor & the epilogues were perfect. Amazing job!
