It handles extreme cold (down to -40 degrees F) and hot summers, making it one of the most adaptable perennials available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Why did Cat's Pajamas win Perennial of the Year?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Perennial Plant Association selected Cat's Pajamas for its revolutionary soil-to-tip blooming habit. Unlike typical catmints that only bloom at the top, Cat's Pajamas blooms abundantly from ground level to stem tips, creating completely full, lush displays. Add in extended bloom season, drought tolerance, deer resistance, and pollinator attraction, and you have the perfect low-maintenance perennial.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does \"soil-to-tip blooming\" mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: It means flowers cover the entire plant from ground level to the top of stems—not just at the tips. This creates neat, ball-shaped mounds completely covered in blooms with no bare stems or leggy growth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What's the difference between the quart and 1-gallon sizes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: The Premium Quart is a vigorous starter plant that establishes quickly and blooms the first season — great value for mass plantings. The Premium 1 Gallon is our landscape-ready finished plant with a larger root system, faster establishment, and immediate visual impact — the same quality professional landscapers use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is Cat's Pajamas different from Cat's Meow and Catwalk Queen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: All three are award-winning Proven Winners® catmints. Cat's Pajamas (12-14 inches) is between Catwalk Queen (10-12 inches) and Cat's Meow (17-20 inches) in height. Cat's Pajamas is known for its soil-to-tip blooming and ball-shaped form, Cat's Meow for its no-flop habit, and Catwalk Queen for its massive blooms. All are excellent—choose based on your height preference and garden needs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Will it really bloom all summer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes. Cat's Pajamas blooms from early summer through fall (4-5 months). Lightly shear spent flowers in midsummer for even more vigorous reblooming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is it really drought tolerant?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes.

This is one of the most deer-resistant perennials you can plant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Do cats really love it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes! The aromatic foliage appeals to cats (it's in the catmint family). Cats may roll in it or rub against it. It's non-toxic and safe for pets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I grow it in containers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes! The compact size (12-14 inches tall) and ball-shaped form make this perfect for containers 12+ inches wide. Use well-draining potting mix and water more frequently than in-ground plants.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Can I order multiple plants in one shipment?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Yes!
