Nepeta rossii Alba is an elegant perennial catmint with delicate snow-white inflorescences and fragrant grey-green foliage. During flowering, the plant forms many slender flower stalks, thickly covered with small white flowers, which create the effect of a light airy cloud. Thanks to its compact form and long-lasting flowering, this variety looks great in both natural and classic garden compositions.
Catmints of the genus Nepeta originate from Europe, Asia, and the Middle East, where they grow in sunny meadows, rocky slopes, and steppe areas. The Alba variety is a decorative white-flowered form, distinguished by high frost resistance, long flowering, and unpretentiousness. It is valued for its ability to maintain ornamental qualities throughout the season and to attract bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects to the garden.
The plant prefers sunny areas or light partial shade, well-drained soils, and moderate watering. It blooms from June to September, reaching a height of 40–60 cm. It is excellent for borders, mixed borders, rockeries, natural flower beds, and container cultivation.
