300 Catnip Seeds Nepeta Cataria Non-Gmo Variety Sizes Cat Lovers Planting USA
Catnip (Nepeta cataria), a hardy perennial herb in the mint family, is known for its aromatic qualities and its fascinating effect on cats. The plant features gray-green, heart-shaped, serrated leaves and clusters of small, tubular flowers in lavender, light purple, or white with speckled accents. Growing to a height of 18–36 inches, catnip has a bushy, upright habit and thrives in well-drained soil with full sun to partial shade. Hardy in USDA Zones 3–9, it is drought-tolerant and low-maintenance, making it easy to grow indoors or outdoors
The key compound in catnip, nepetalactone, stimulates sensory receptors in cats, causing playful, euphoric behavior, while also serving as a natural insect repellent for humans. Beyond its appeal to cats, catnip provides ecological benefits, attracting pollinators like bees and butterflies. For humans, its leaves can be used to make tea, known for its mild sedative properties to reduce stress and promote relaxation. Catnip’s versatility, ease of cultivation, and benefits to both humans and cats make it a favorite in herb gardens and households alike
***Pro Tip: Freeze overnight, then soak overnight
