I can't rave enough about Walker's Low. It stays compact and full and doesn't reseed like some catmints. When I cut it back it rebounds in minutes and it stands up to my hot sun, sandy soil and drought conditions like a champ. Well deserved Plant of the Year winner!

I truly love it too. I have one growing in a large pot that is doing wonderful. It doesn't reseed the way catnip does, however I do have one along my garden wall that must have seeded itself there. I will try and transplant it.

This looks like a plant I need. We have a backyard with a steep slope, sandy soil, hot and dry area.

Hi Linda,

I just now saw your question...! I don't think Calloway's has carried this in the past. (North Haven Gardens is much more likely to do so...if you haven't made the trek down to NHG, it's a great nursery. I much prefer it over any Calloway's. Just off of 75 by Forest Lane.)
