Abstract
The new and distinct hardy perennial Nepeta plant named ‘Lemon Purrfection’ has a dense, compressed mound, with compact habit and arching to horizontal stems. The new plant begins flowers in late spring and continues and repeats until autumn frost without deadheading. The flowers are bluish-lavender with purple spots and persistent mauve calyces just above the complementing bright chartreuse-yellow, cordate, fragrant foliage. The new plant is useful in the landscape en masse, as an accent, or in containers to bring color and fragrance to a garden and attract butterflies and hummingbirds.
