Transplanted Cat's Pajamas Nepeta - from Back to Sideyard - May 2024

One of those edits is a Cat's Pajamas Nepeta that needs to get out of there. I moved it here last Fall when I noticed it wasn't thriving in the shade . Little did I know that I'd move it twice in six months. The good news is that the Nepeta 'came back' this Spring.
