    Which is why I'm asking here - what are the triumphs, ignoring the hype.

    Nepeta, every time!

    Does it attract cats to the plant?

    Not mine, strangely. They couldn’t care less for it! Other cats visiting don’t seem to tamper with it either, maybe because it’s in a raised bed, growing through a rosa mutabilis?

    Right now, it's my thistles- Cirsium rivulare. Each flower seems to have a bumblebee at all times.
