Product Information Chevron Forward

The catnip herb is a member of the mint family that gets its name because of its particular attraction for cats!

The herb every cat loves, our catnip plant seeds should germinate for you in 8-12 days under the right growing conditions. For bushier catnip plants, pinch back the tops of their shoots when buds appear. Can also be grown for bee forage.

Beyond being an irresistible treat for cats, catnip is a hardy perennial herb that earns its keep in the garden year after year, returning each season once established. For the best harvest, snip the top leaves and flowers as they begin to open in early summer; most gardeners can expect two harvests in a typical growing season. Whether you're growing it to keep a feline companion entertained, to support local pollinators, or to snip fresh leaves for a fragrant, lemony-mint tea, catnip is a low-maintenance herb that rewards very little effort with a lot of charm.

Young leaves and shoots also impart a lemony-mint flavor to everyday cooking and catnip tea.
