Neptune Catmint (Nepeta kubanica 'Bokratune')
Neptune Catmint (Nepeta kubanica 'Bokratune') is a sun-loving perennial grown for its deep blue flower spikes and its strong, upright habit that adds structure to mixed borders. Compared with many mounding catmints, this type tends to flower on taller, more vertical stems, creating a bolder, more architectural look while still keeping the soft, aromatic foliage catmint is known for. Bloom typically begins in early summer and continues for weeks, and with deadheading or a light cutback after the first flush, it can keep producing color later into the season. With its saturated flower color and sturdy form, Neptune Catmint makes an excellent focal point in sunny beds where you want true blue tones and a plant that holds its shape.
Distinctive Features
The standout feature is the intense blue flowering, with upright spikes that read strongly in the landscape and pair beautifully with yellows, whites, and warm pinks. The foliage is aromatic and softly textured, helping the plant feel relaxed even though the flowering habit is more vertical. Neptune is also a strong pollinator plant, drawing bees and other beneficial insects when it is in bloom. Because it leans toward a taller, clump-forming presence, it is especially useful where you want catmint color in the middle of a border rather than only at the edge.
Growing Conditions
- Sun: Full sun is best; tolerates light shade but flowering is usually stronger with more sun.
- Soil: Well-drained soil; performs best in average to lean soils and does not like wet feet.
- Water: Moderate; water regularly during establishment, then water during extended dry spells.
- USDA Hardiness Zones: 4 to 8.
- Habit: Upright, clump-forming perennial with vertical flower spikes.
- Mature Size: About 24 to 36 inches tall and 18 to 24 inches wide.
Ideal Uses
- Focal Point: Use as a mid-border blue accent where upright flower spikes can stand out above mounding plants.
- Mixed Perennial Borders: Adds structure and saturated color among coneflowers, coreopsis, and ornamental grasses.
- Pollinator Plantings: Supports bees and beneficial insects during its bloom season.
- Sunny Cottage Borders: Fits naturally with salvias, roses, and hardy geraniums for a layered, flowering look.
- Repeating Color Theme: Plant in groups to create a strong blue rhythm through sunny beds.
Low Maintenance Care
- Watering: Water consistently the first growing season; after that, water only during prolonged drought.
- Deadheading: Remove spent flower spikes to extend bloom and keep the plant looking clean.
- Cutback: Shear back after the first heavy bloom to encourage fresh growth and possible rebloom.
- Soil Management: Avoid rich, constantly wet soils, which can reduce flowering and cause decline.
- Fertilizing: Usually not needed; a light spring feeding is enough in poor soils.
- Spacing: Provide airflow to help foliage stay clean in humid weather.
Why Choose Neptune Catmint?
- Deep Blue Flower Spikes: Saturated blue blooms deliver strong color impact in sunny borders.
- Upright Habit: More vertical structure than many catmints, making it useful for mid-border placement.
- Aromatic Foliage: Soft, fragrant leaves add texture and a clean, refined look.
- Pollinator Support: Flowers attract bees and other beneficial insects through the season.
- Strong Focal Point Value: Combines bold blue color with a sturdy form that holds its place in mixed beds.
If you want a catmint with true blue flower spikes and a stronger, upright presence, Neptune Catmint adds focal point color and reliable structure to sunny, well-drained borders.

Cute? Yes! Durable? Not so much…
Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Green Gecko, Size: Large (Pack of 1), Color: Green Gecko
Upon opening this toy I was hopeful that it would last my dog (medium size beagle mix) quite a while. While he enjoyed it, he was able to start ripping it up less than 24 hours after getting it. Now 10 days later, he’s completely destroyed it. He was able to rip open all layers of material, pull them apart, and tear all the squeakers out. While the squeakers are large, they could be a choking hazard for a large dog. Based on the advertised “durability” of this toy and how little time it lasted my dog, I would not purchase it again.

This worm, pretty sure it’s a worm and not a snake, can take a lot of abuse.
Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake, Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake
Snake, worm, whatever, my dog doesn’t care, she loves it all the same. My little friend can be kinda rough with her toys. This is no exception. The pictures are from roughly one month of giving it to her and include playing with it at least every other day or so. The top is holding up well, but the bottom has taken some damage, and two of the squeakers have long since been destroyed. Despite this, my dog still loves playing with it. We normally play tug of war together, but on her own she chews at it to get to the squeakers inside, which she promptly destroys, which I’m totally fine with, as quiet toys are much preferred, by me, not her. I believe there are 4 in the XL size that we got. We’ve had a few of these in the past. We tend to get about 6 months out of them. After she “lovingly” removes the squeakers, she doesn’t chew on it much, and we just use it for tug of war, but at that point she’s done enough damage to the underside that its time is limited. But, as it’s pretty low priced, for the time and enjoyment we do get out of it, it’s very much worth it. I do need to clarify, the durability is actually quite good, I don’t fault the product as at all, it’s just my dog is equally as good with destruction, but it should be noted this toy does last much longer than most of her victims. The color, (we got the blue and green) is also very vivid and nice, as is the texture. We’ll be purchasing again.

Awesome toy!
Size: X-Large (Pack of 1), Color: Blue Snake
My pitbull Stella loves these! Ive bought her two of the smaller snake toys in the past and she Absolutly loves them! The first one lasted about 6 months which is a lifetime compared to how long her other toys last lol and the second one lasted about the same. This time I decided to get the XL version. It has 6 squeakers instead of 3 like the smaller versions. I picked the teal and purple colors and it's like 43 inches long I think. Its the same length as her and shes a large size dog. She loves this thing! Its so cute watching her squeak each of the squeakers with her nose.
While this is a great toy it is not chew proof. In fact its quite easy for an experienced chewer to get into this toy. It is relatively strong but it wont stand a chance with a power chewer. Like I said this is the third one of these I have bought in roughly a year. They do last longer then more soft toys I will give them that. This is the only soft toy she has not destroyed in 5 mins. But after a week or so at least one squeaker will be missing.
For the average dog one of these snake toys will last a really long time and they are fun to play with. We play tug of war and fetch with it. Stella also loves when I squeak the toy she will squeak it back and we'll go back and forth for hours lol. One last thing it is loud! If noisy toys bug you, don't get this. The sqeakers are industrial strength lol

Durable toy but definitely NOT invincible
Size: Medium (Pack of 1), Color: Orange Gecko
BACKGROUND
I have two labradors and, with my friends dogs over, we have a combined combination of five labradors at a time. If you have seen the film "Marley & Me" then you will understand our dogs. They tear through concrete, dry wall, and, well, just about anything they can get their paws and mouths on. It is very important to have plenty of toys for them to keep pre-occupied as most of the destruction is caused by dogs that are bored.
Unfortunately, many items are not able to withstand this combined destructive force. I spotted these "Invincible" line of toys and thought they were worth a try. I ended up ordering basically one of every style and size.
APPEARANCE
The toys come in different sizes, colors, and shapes. The most common are the Gecko and the Snake. The toys are covered with a more durable cloth that is fuzzy and suppose to withstand quite a bit of chewing. Inside the toys are what are described as durable squeakers that, if punctured, will still squeak even after hours of being bitten and chewed upon. The larger the toy ordered, the more squeakers that are sewn into the toy.
RELIABILITY
I have to admit these toys did last about ten times as long as any other toy I have given my dogs. Unfortunately, nothing is indestructible. My dogs managed to find kinks in the lining of the toys that, once penetrated, will cause the toys to open leaving stuffing and squeak toys all over the place. The squeakers did withstand quite a bit of chewing before the squeaking went silent.
I noticed that the snake toy did last quite a bit longer than the gecko or the little dragon characters. The snake had separate compartments for the squeakers and so, if one was torn out, the others survived. On the Gecko once its middle section was torn open the squeakers were lost.
CUSTOMER SUPPORT
Not utilized
PROS:
++ Lasted about 10X times the length of time as other "invincible" toys
CONS:
++ They are not truly "invincible" and will be destroyed over time
CONCLUSION
The invincible line of toys did last a lot longer than most toys that I have purchased for my labradors. I would recommend the snake over the gecko or other styles. I have had to toss the geckos as they were shredded but the snakes are still with me to this day six months later. Also note, even though "Invincible" is in the title, these toys are definitely not although you will save an incredible amount purchasing these toys once and having a gradual destruction process versus having to buy new toys continuously over the same period of time that these lasted.
