When to plant catmint
Catmint is a sterile hybrid perennial set out as a plant and propagated by division. Plant in spring once the soil is workable; NC State notes it rapidly forms a clump and blooms from spring into summer, and that shearing after flowering encourages repeat bloom.
Catmint is timed by season rather than your frost dates, so the planting calendar does not generate ZIP-specific dates for it. Check the cited sources below to fine-tune for your area.
