Maury----question on your walker's low catmint----I have several, probably 40 or so. They do great, get big, pump out the flower power all summer. However, I've been disappointed by the shade of purple. It's kind of a washed out lavendar purple---rather than the more medium purple I prefer in catmints. I've also noticed the same issue with my wisteria vine---washed out looking color to the flowers. Lots of them, but rather bland color. Do you have the same issue with your walker's low? I'm wondering if there is something I can put in the soil to intensify their color.......(along with the wisteria).......??????? I've attached a pic of mine from last year so you can see what I'm talking about.....Looking at this pic, they look more purple than I recall......perhaps b/c it's so gray outside today that this pic looks like it is bursting with life. But, truly, they are kind of a bland grayish lavendar color which has been disappointing.
