Serene Lilac Catmint (Nepeta 'Serene Lilac') brings a softer color palette to the classic catmint form, with delicate lilac-hued flowers that create a romantic, cottage garden atmosphere from late spring straight through to frost. This compact perennial forms tidy mounds of aromatic gray-green foliage topped with upright spikes of tubular flowers that beckon every pollinator in the neighborhood. The name fits perfectly as both a color description and a mood setter for what this plant brings to your garden spaces.

A Long Season of Lilac Blooms

Unlike many perennials that offer a brief two-week show, Serene Lilac Catmint delivers months of continuous color. The first flush of lilac flowers appears in late spring and continues strong through early summer. Rather than fading away as temperatures rise, this tough customer keeps producing scattered blooms even during the hottest weeks. Give plants a quick shearing after the initial bloom surge, and they reward you with a robust second flowering period that carries into fall. The individual flowers are small but densely packed along sturdy stems, creating substantial color impact without appearing heavy or overwhelming.

Tough Enough for Challenging Spots

This catmint variety shines in locations where many perennials struggle. Lean, rocky soil suits it perfectly, as does the reflected heat from driveways, patios, and south-facing walls. Once established, plants tolerate considerable drought and bounce back quickly even after wilting during hot afternoons. The aromatic foliage contains compounds that deer and rabbits find distasteful, making Serene Lilac Catmint a smart choice for properties where wildlife browsing is a constant challenge. Cold hardiness to zone 3 means even northern gardeners can count on this perennial returning reliably each spring.

Perfect for Pollinators and Garden Design

Bees work the flowers from dawn to dusk, and butterflies visit throughout the day when temperatures warm. Hummingbirds appreciate the tubular flower shape and often include catmint in their regular patrol routes through the garden. The soft lilac color acts as a versatile bridge in mixed plantings, cooling down hot oranges and yellows while complementing purples, pinks, and blues. The mounding habit and moderate height make this cultivar ideal for edging pathways, softening hardscape edges, or planting in drifts through perennial borders.

Landscape Uses and Companion Plants

Serene Lilac Catmint works beautifully as a border edging where its aromatic foliage can be appreciated up close. Plant it along walkways where brushing against the leaves releases that distinctive minty scent. The compact size suits container growing, either as a solo specimen or combined with upright ornamental grasses and trailing plants. In larger landscapes, mass plantings create sweeps of soft color that tie together more dramatic focal points. This catmint pairs particularly well with roses, where it hides bare lower stems while echoing bloom colors. Other excellent companions include lavender, salvia, coneflowers, and ornamental grasses.

Low Maintenance Perennial Excellence

Gardeners appreciate plants that deliver big results with minimal fussing, and Serene Lilac Catmint fits that description perfectly. No staking required even in rich soil or partial shade. No deadheading necessary for continuous bloom, though shearing after the first flush improves appearance and flower production. Pests and diseases rarely bother well-sited plants. The gray-green foliage looks presentable even when not in bloom, and the plant maintains a tidy shape without constant grooming. For anyone building a low-maintenance landscape that still delivers seasonal color and pollinator support, this catmint belongs on the short list.

Great, New Commentary!
Format: Hardcover
This commentary by Robert Yarbrough will become, I predict, a top-rated volume on the Pastoral Epistles. These epistles are ideal for the style of commentary we find in the Pillar New Testament Commentary (PNTC) series. As respected and valuable as the NICNT volumes by the same publisher are, these Pillar volumes are simply more valuable. They have a better center of focus, are more consistently conservative, and have more value for pastors without sacrificing scholarship. This volume succeeds in reaching that standard too. As you might have guessed, the editorship of D. A. Carson likely keeps this series moored to that lofty perch. BTW, don’t miss the editor’s preface where Carson fawns over Yarbrough’s work here. I was in love with this commentary within a few pages of its fine Introduction. So many commentators lose their way in the Pastoral Epistles. I have long suspected that it has far more to do with the authors dislike of what these epistles say rather than any actual problem found within them. Yarbrough is not sucked into the irrational fear of using the term “pastoral epistles” as so many are today either. It’s a breath of fresh air. He opens the Introduction with eight theses on pastoral heritage in these epistles. To my mind, that was a great way to present introductory issues. Next, he does a section each on Father, Son, and Spirit respectively in the Pastoral Epistles (PE). He was particularly perceptive in discussing Paul as a working pastor, even dispensing some silly critical theories along the way. He then tackles in turn geography, people, and key terms. He ends with a section on authorship and other usual introductory matters and masterfully reaches conservative conclusions. The commentary itself was even better! The phrase “real help” comes to mind. He showed off his skill, for example, in the perpetual battlefield of Titus 2. He gently yet surefootedly takes us where that disliked passage goes. He’s kind to dissenters, careful in scholarship, but not afraid to reach a conclusion. I don’t know about you, but that’s how I like my commentaries. 5 stars all the way!

A Thorough Commentary that Needs Less Neutrality
Format: Kindle
Dr. Yarbrough has addressed the meaning of the Pastoral Epistles with the excellence we have have come to expect from him. However, sometimes he seems reluctant to take a stand on some controversial issues (other than on Pauline authorship and matters of basic Christian orthodoxy, to both of which he is correctly firmly committed). When several possibilities of meaning are possible, for example, it would be helpful to know which hypothesis he favors, and why. While occasionally he does state a definitive opinion, more often he does not, perhaps in a laudable but somewhat overdone effort to avoid controversy with fellow theologians. However, when one reads a 1000+ page commentary written at a scholarly level, one expects the author to give his or her expert opinion on such matters—indeed, it is a major reason that one purchases and studies a commentary. To conclude on a more positive note, Dr. Yarbrough’s observations on Greek word usage, including numerous Old Testament passages from the Septuagint, the Apostolic Fathers and apocryphal works, were very helpful in aiding the reader in understanding fine shades of meaning. His pastoral observations and deductions based on the text are simply excellent. His discussions of the strengths and weaknesses commonly encountered in Christian leaders in Western countries versus those observed in leaders from other nations were fascinating and edifying, not to mention occasionally convicting (in a good way)—even for readers who aren’t pastors, like me.

Unimpressive
Format: Hardcover
Concerning various controversial questions of like Pauline authorship and women in ministry, Yarbrough's commentary is lackluster, polemical, and altogether dismissive of large swaths of evangelical scholarship that run counter to his claims. There are better commentaries from an evangelical perspective (I. Howard Marshall, Philip Towner) that seriously address such questions without resorting to hand-waving. Overall, an unimpressive and polemical work that is superseded by better words.
