Catnip Overview:

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a perennial herb belonging to the mint family, with a distinct aroma that cats find irresistible. Its scent comes from the compound nepetalactone, which triggers a sense of euphoria and playfulness in felines. Besides its feline appeal, catnip boasts lovely white or lilac flowers that attract pollinators, making it a valuable addition to your garden!

Germination and Growing:

1. To start, sow the catnip seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost date. Lightly cover the seeds with soil, ensuring they receive light and warmth. Maintain a consistent temperature of 65-70°F (18-21°C) to aid germination.
2. Keep the soil moist but not waterlogged, and expect germination to occur within 10-20 days.
3. Once the seedlings have grown at least two sets of true leaves and the danger of frost has passed, transplant them outdoors. Space the plants 15-20 inches apart in a sunny or partially shaded spot with well-draining soil.
4. Water the catnip plants regularly, but avoid over-watering to prevent root rot.

Harvesting and Use:

1. Harvest catnip leaves and flowering tops when the plant is in full bloom, typically in late summer. This is when the nepetalactone content is highest.
2. To use catnip for your feline friends, rub the fresh or dried leaves and flowers between your fingers to release the aroma and watch your cat revel in delight. Alternatively, stuff the dried catnip into toys or sachets for your cat to enjoy.
