SKU: 4000071Love this plant. It grew to three feet high in two years, and here in Dallas-Ft. Worth, it stays green and grows all winter too! The cats just plop down in the middle of the four square foot plot of catnip and fall asleep, but it doesn't hurt the catnip. It is drought resistant and one of the only plants that doesn't wilt in our 100F+ heat! Be careful, this plant could easily invade your garden beds! I planted in a four square foot raised bed, so it can't spread to my vegetables. I highly recommend this herb.
I have tried to grow this before with no luck. However these seeds all germinated very quickly. I started these in the house 2013 but I started them too early. So they were not very happy when I put them in my herb garden-despite my mistake they did amazing! I had catnip all summer/fall and I love the plant. It smells wonderful and I have used it for insect repellent recipes, teas, and flower arrangements when it blooms. This herb is very versatile and easy to grow. I mulch my gardens and just checked my herb garden-I still have catnip in January. I will plant more in my other gardens to help with insect pollination.
