Catnip (Nepeta cataria) – 75-100x Seeds

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a hardy, aromatic perennial herb best known for its stimulating effect on cats, but it's also a useful and attractive plant for the garden. With soft grey-green leaves and spikes of small pale lavender flowers, catnip is ideal for cottage gardens, borders, and herb beds.

Plants grow to around 60–90 cm tall and are drought-tolerant once established. It thrives in full sun to part shade and well-drained soil. In addition to entertaining cats, catnip is also used in herbal teas and natural remedies for its calming effects on humans. The flowers attract bees and beneficial insects, making it a great companion plant.

A versatile and easy-to-grow herb with charm, utility, and appeal for both humans and feline friends.
