Catnip Catnip |

SEEDS - Botanical Interests - Hardy to USDA zone 3. Enjoy a cup of hot lemony-mint flavored catnip tea while watching your cats frolic in a patch of this fragrant, attractive plant. Plants can also be grown indoors on a windowsill, so cats can enjoy the fresh leaves year ‘round. A very hardy plant, it grows in almost any soil. (Although, most cats are ‘crazy’ for catnip, 10-30% of the cat population does not respond to it. Though, the affinity for it is genetic, this indifference is pronounced in very young kittens and older cats.) If your cat loves catnip, you can grow your own to make him or her silly happy all year long. =^_^= When to plant outside: : Early spring, 2 to 4 weeks before average last frost. Plant as late as 2 months before first fall frost. When to start inside: 6 weeks before average last spring frost for transplanting outdoors. Can be started any time of year to be grown as a houseplant. Special Germination Instructions: Seed requires light to germinate. Either don’t cover seeds at all and mist them regularly to keep them moist or cover them very lightly so seeds can still receive light. Seed germinates best in cool conditions. Important note: If you don’t want your cats or the neighbor’s cats to roll over or eat your plants, start with seed. Cats seem to go after transplants right away, but don’t seem to notice seeded plants as quickly. Special Care: Cut back stems and blooms after the first flush of flowers: this will encourage additional fall flowers. Bot: Nepeta cataria

Nepeta cataria var. 'Citriodora'Catnip, Lemon |
 |
Lemon scented catnip is a wonderful version of the common catnip that felines adore. The lemon form makes a delicious tea. Because it is less attractive to cat guests it can be used more reliably as a landscape plant in areas where felines roam free. It has soft grayish foliage and white stalks of flowers. It seems to have a more mannerly form of growth than common catnip.
