Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon': compact catmint with upright summer spikes

What makes Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' useful

Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' is a compact catmint with a clean, upright flower shape and a restrained mound. The plant forms aromatic green foliage at the base, then sends up short, dense spikes of lavender-blue flowers in summer. That tighter flower form gives it a neat look in border fronts and small perennial groups. It keeps the relaxed catmint feel in a contained outline suited to smaller spaces.

This is a strong choice for sunny borders where blue flowers are wanted at a modest height. It can sit near paths, in gravel-style planting, in herb-adjacent beds or among compact grasses and perennials. Bees and other insects visit the flowers, adding movement to summer planting while the plant stays compact. Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' also works well in containers, especially where a rounded pot needs a flowering perennial that stays around the lower half of a mixed display.

Size, shape and flowering behaviour

Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' stays compact, typically around 30 to 40 cm tall, with a mature spread often in the 20 to 40 cm range. Stems rise fairly vertically from the crown, carrying dense flower spikes above the foliage. The whole plant feels compact, leafy and useful for repeated dots through a sunny border.

Containers commonly produce a more compact plant than planting out. In a pot, Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' suits tighter spaces because it flowers well on a modest footprint. The pot still needs enough width to keep the root zone stable through dry weather. A 20 to 30 cm container suits a young plant, with larger pots giving a fuller mound and a steadier watering rhythm through summer heat.

Light, drainage and moisture for Nepeta nervosa Blue Moon

Full sun gives the strongest flowering and firmest habit. The plant handles open exposure when the root zone drains well, with best growth in bright, airy positions. Soil needs quick drainage; chalk, loam and sand all match the plant well. Acid, neutral and alkaline pH ranges are suitable, with soil structure carrying the main role.

  • Border soil: Aim for free movement of water through the root zone.
  • Potting mix: Use a peat-free outdoor mix opened with grit, pumice or coarse mineral material.
  • Watering cue: In pots, water when the upper 20 to 30% of pot depth feels dry.
  • Establishment: Water newly planted roots during dry periods until fresh growth continues steadily.
  • Feeding: A light spring feed is enough in containers; rich feeding makes stems softer.
  • Air flow: Leave space around the mound so foliage dries after rain.

Once established in open ground, Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' handles short dry spells well. During the first season, watering is still important while roots move beyond the original plug or pot. Container plants need a steadier check because limited root volume dries quickly in warm weather.

Trimming, spacing and seasonal care

Use around 40 cm spacing for a compact rhythm at the front of a sunny bed. In a mixed border, Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' is useful between rounded shrubs, compact salvias, low grasses and hardy geraniums. After the main flowering flush, shear off spent stems and lightly reduce the leafy mound. This keeps the plant tidy and encourages fresh foliage, with a chance of later flower stems when conditions are favourable.

Cut old stems back in late winter or early spring before new shoots lengthen. Division can refresh older clumps if the centre becomes congested. Main issues are linked to wet crowns in cold weather, crowded foliage after rain, or a pot that dries to dust during a hot spell. If flowering is weak, check light first, then review feeding and drainage. Soft, stretched stems usually point to too much shade or over-rich conditions.

Where to use Nepeta nervosa Blue Moon

Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' fits small gardens, balcony containers, courtyard beds and tidy perennial borders. The blue-lavender spikes look clean with silver leaves, white flowers, pale pinks, ornamental grasses and warm terracotta pots. Because the growth is compact, it also works near seating areas and path edges where large sprawling plants would crowd the route.

Choose Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' when you want catmint colour in a more controlled outline. Give it sun, well-drained soil and a clean trim after the first flower show, and it becomes a dependable summer perennial with scent, movement and steady insect activity. Add Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' to sunny planting where compact size, blue flowers and aromatic foliage need to work together.

Planting combinations and small-space details

Nepeta nervosa 'Blue Moon' is particularly useful where the planting plan needs blue flowers but a restrained footprint. It can sit with dwarf ornamental grasses, compact salvias, low alliums and silver-leaved edging plants. In a small border, place it in groups of three for a clearer colour patch, or use single plants to repeat the same tone through a narrow bed. The upright spikes combine well with rounded leaves and low cushions, giving a vertical accent at modest height.

For containers, pair it with plants that share sun and drainage needs. Small thyme, compact oregano, low sedum and silver foliage all suit the same dry-to-average rhythm. A container on a hot terrace may need extra checks, and the upper-depth drying cue keeps the routine simple. Refresh the surface mix in spring and remove weak stems so the crown stays open.

Its a TV too!
Size: 32"
I got this monitor for my computer for the most part. Excellent quality Colors are great, no dead pixels on arrival. Bright and easy to see. Comes with a remote which I thought was strange and put it aside for a few months. Then when I found the remote again I played with it and realized this was also a TV!! So for the price it is an amazing gaming monitor and a smart tv on top of that this is great value for the money. The curve may make it difficult to see as a tv if you are in a large space but for what it is made for there is no problem at all. And you can adjust if you do move around the room.

Great Gaming Monitor at an Affordable Price
Size: 32"
Solid Monitor with a high quality image with strong blacks on a VA panel, fantastic 240hz refresh rate, quick response time. Comes with some extra built in UI features and a remote for TV like functions or cloud gaming, which I don't really need, seeing as I am using this exclusively as a PC monitor. But certainly not a downside. Wasn't perfect out of the box, but with a little calibration and optimizing, gaming at 240 FPS looks and feels great. Perfect alongside my old 1440p 144hz monitor as a second monitor, and my new PC. Able to hit those 1440p/240FPS marks with my 7950X3D and 7900XTX GPU. Would recommend at it's current sale price just under $500. If your looking to spend more, consider an OLED option in the $800-1000 range for a screen with comparable specs. Also has Freesync Premium Pro with an effecting range from 60-240FPS for system/titles that are unable to hit that 240hz refresh rate at all times. From my testing this seems most optimal from 120-240 FPS, 60-120 FPS seems a bit less effective. Either way great monitor for the money spent.

Very good monitor, definitely worth the price.
Size: 30Inch
Very good monitor, definitely worth the price. The picture quality and colors are great, and the mount is solid. The only issue is that it should come with a set of universal USB cables. I’m currently using it for a specific project, which required me to buy a particular cable. However, sometimes I would like to connect my laptop to it, but I’m still not sure which type of USB port or cable I need. Additionally, I had to purchase another USB cable to use it with my specific PC.
