More floriferous than many other Nepeta cultivars, it produces a profusion of lavender-blue blooms that create a uniform flower canopy above soft gray-green foliage. The dense, even coverage delivers stronger color impact from late spring through early fall, while strong, upright stems resist flopping—maintaining a tidy appearance all season long. Unlike older varieties that sprawl or fall open, Junior Walker™ keeps its neat shape and does not reseed, preventing unwanted spreading.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCompact and easy to grow, this resilient perennial thrives in sunny locations with well-drained soil. Its long bloom window and pollinator-friendly flowers attract bees and butterflies, adding movement and life to borders, cottage gardens, and smaller spaces. With greater flower power, improved structure, and reliable performance, Junior Walker™ offers a superior, low-maintenance option for season-long garden color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- split --\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePlanting \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e1.
