Nepeta sibirica, the Siberian catmint, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family Lamiaceae, native to Siberia.[2]
Growing to 1 m (3.3 ft) tall by 1.5 m (4.9 ft) broad, it is an erect aromatic herbaceous perennial with whorls of violet flowers for an extended period in summer. The synonym Dracocephalum sibiricum indicates the shape of the flowers, which resemble a dragon's head.
It prefers a well-drained, moist soil in a sunny southerly or westerly aspect.
The cultivar 'Souvenir d'André Chaudon' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[3]
