Nepeta cataria

Euphoric effects for felines. 30-50" tall herb resembling mint in appearance, with grayish-green leaves. Catnip seeds naturally have a low germination rate which is improved with cold stratification

Direct seed in early spring or transplant into the garden after all danger of frost has passed. Catnip benefits from cold stratification.  It will need full sun and well-draining soil. Water well to ensure good germination. Once germinated, catnip will need at least an inch of water per week. Typically grown for leaves and flowers. Perennial.
