Nepeta faassenii Six Hills Giant - Catnip

The Nepeta, 'Six Hills Giant', is a plant that can thrive in any terrain. It grows best under sunlight, even in light, poor and stony soils. Although it prefers moist soils, it can adapt to the summer drought by reducing its flowering. If planted in heavy soils, it's recommended to dig a hole that is three times larger than the volume of the bucket and mix 1/3 gravel and 1/3 sand with your topsoil to lighten the soil. This will prevent water stagnation in winter. To ensure the plant stays healthy, you should cut back the faded inflorescences in the middle of summer to a height of 20cm (7.9 in) using shears. This will make the plant more compact and flower again in autumn.
