When to Seed Catnip

Catnip should be direct seeded outdoors in fall, or stratified indoors and sown in trays for transplanting after all danger of frost has passed. 

Where to Plant Catnip

This plant will appreciate a spot with full sun. Loose, well-draining soil is ideal but this plant will tolerate an extremely wide range of growing conditions. This perennial bloom will come back year after year. 

Growing Catnip

Sow seeds ⅛ inch deep and 18 inches apart. Once germinated, thin your seedlings to 24 inches apart.  

Harvesting Catnip

Catnip leaves can be harvested with sharp shears and used fresh or dried. Regularly harvesting the flower spikes and foliage will result in a longer foliage harvest and bushier plants.
