No catmint has blue flowers.Cats love as it is a mild narcotic for them.
Loosestrife????
Loosestrife or Lysimachia vulgaris.
Loosestrife - and it's a FAB ground cover when you've an area to just smother and make unattractive to cats 8)
It's a robust upright plant, doesn't need staking, glorious sunshiny yellow flowers in the darkest summer days - and cats can't get in there to cr*p cos they (the plants ::))are so dense they don't provide the necessary turning circle for the moggie before squatting.
i have that plant in my garden. Never knew its name so thanks for the info.
The plant that really deters cats is supposed to be Rue (Rhue?). The smell makes them retch...
