My nepeta, which is often robust and covered with flowers, has this year become sparse with yellow leaves at the base. What am I doing wrong?

Yellowing of the leaves at the base along with poor growth can indicate nitrogen deficiency, or less commonly, magnesium or potassium deficiency. Try supplementing with a fertilizer that provides these nutrients. Conventional and organic options are available in gardening stores.
