• Position: full sun or partial shade
• Soil: moist, well-drained soil (or John Innes no. 3 compost for containers)
• Rate of growth: average
• Flowering period: April to May
• Hardiness: fully hardy
  
  With its bright green, scallop-shaped leaves that are heavily edged in creamy white, Nepeta hederacea 'Variegata' is sure to stand out as a complementary semi-evergreen for your tall pots, windowboxes, and hanging baskets. The foliage has a beautiful, textured appearance which is enhanced by lilac-mauve flowers that appear in summer, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. Easy to grow and maintain, this trailing glechoma is an excellent choice for gardeners of all skill levels.
  
  
• Garden care: Cut back untidy foliage before new leaves emerge in spring. Divide every 2-3 years. Can be grown as a spreading ground cover but may become invasive.
