Choose Walker's Low Catmint for sunny borders that need a durable, deer-resistant soft edge with a long bloom window. The tradeoff: it spreads and flops more than tighter perennials, so plan to shear it back.

PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B+
It gives a strong soft border effect, especially in groups, but it is more relaxed than formal.
Growth Rate
A
It fills in quickly and does not make you wait long for a finished look.
Maintenance
B
It is easy to grow, but cutting it back after bloom keeps it from looking tired.
Deer Resistance
A-
Deer usually pass this by, since the foliage deters browsing, though no plant is completely immune where pressure is severe.
Small Space Fit
B-
It works in smaller beds only if you give it room to arch outward.
Screening Value
F
This is an edging perennial, not a plant for privacy or blocking views.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend planting it where the edge can relax a bit, then shearing after the first heavy bloom to keep the clump cleaner and push fresh growth.

Why Choose Perennials for Your Garden?
Return Year After Year: Perennials come back each season, reducing replanting costs while increasing garden maturity
Extended Seasonal Interest: With proper selection, you can enjoy continuous blooms from spring through fall.
Low Long-Term Maintenance: Once established, many perennials require minimal upkeep and become more resilient over time.

Found this company on GOOGLE, and so glad I did!
I needed trees asap, to create a fence from neighbors. None of the local nurseries had any stock for the Green Giant Arborvitae’s.
Only a 30 min ride, and we were met with the kindest folks and the BEST selection of trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials.
Don’t even bother with the Big Box stores, (if they have them, they are usually half dead) when you can get them bigger and HEALTHIER at Pro Growers. A N D local delivery is readily available!
WHY go anywhere else!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!
