Cultivation | Propagation | General Uses Medicinal | Edible Uses Latin Name: Nepeta japonica Family: Labiatae Author: Maxim. Known Hazards: None known Mature Height: Mature Width: Habitat: Not known
Cultivation Notes: We have very little information on this species and do not know if it will be hardy in Britain, though judging by its native range it could succeed outdoors in many parts of this country. There is some doubt over the correct name for this plant. It does not appear in 'The Flora of Japan[58], but there is an entry in that book for N. japonica. Willd. which is said to be a synonym of Caryopteris incana. (Thunb.)Miq. It is possible that the reports on the plants uses should be for that plant. The following notes are based on the general needs of this genus.
Easily grown in a well-drained soil in a sunny position[200]. Plants are bushier when grown in fertile soils[200].
Members of this genus are rarely if ever troubled by browsing deer or rabbits[233].
A good bee plant[108].
