    I’d thoroughly recommend nepetia six Hills Giant, same kind of colours as lavender, flowers freely all summer, a magnet for bees and butterflies and just needs a chop around midsummer to refresh it for late summer

    Yes Joyce I think I may just jump from frying pan to fire tho it was my first thought too
    i have nepeta in a lot of other parts of the garden but I might just try again

    Would Southernwood work. The only thing is wrong coloured flower. I suppose you could always trim the flowers off.
