Description
Height x Spread: 60cm x 60cm
This perennial has beautiful large, lilac blue flowers that appear above grey foliage. Do not be fooled by the name! This is named after a place in Yorkshire where 'Low' means a 'hill'.
So not a low growing plant, which would mean it is really best positioned in the middle of the border where it will flower for a long period throughout the summer. Full sun is by far the best position for this Catmint, in any soil.
