Catnip

HEIRLOOM. Nepeta cataria. Catnip is a hardy perennial herb famous for its ability to attract and delight cats with its aromatic oils. This fragrant herb produces small, mint-like leaves and clusters of delicate white or purple flowers that bloom in late spring to summer. Easy to grow in well-drained soil and full to partial sun, catnip thrives in garden beds, containers, or even as a border plant. Beyond its appeal to cats, catnip has medicinal properties for humans, often used in teas for its calming effects. A versatile and low-maintenance plant, catnip is a great addition to both herb gardens and pet-friendly spaces.

Treat your cat and plant some catnip in your home or garden. Catnip can also be used as an insect repellent: it keeps away mosquitoes, flies and cockroaches.
