Ours does wonderfully here as well in France except for the occasional depression smack in the middle of the plants..due to a very content neighbors cat.<br />Best wishes, and anytime you care to post some of your work feel free to contact me.

All the best to her...and to you and your poor tired brain. I know how that goes. <br />I love nepeta to pieces. It really is practically bullet proof. I used it, with lamb's ears, in a recent garden I designed and installed in Oxfordshire. The thing about this garden was the owner wanted to keep it organic and it backs onto a grain field, which is all terribly bucolic and beautiful, but the entire population of slugs and snails rather see the garden as their buffet. They even ate the leaves of a plum tree from a branch which was touching the ground, but they left the nepeta completely alone. And, bonus, the owner's three cats love it to pieces. Wonderful plant. So much for the money.
