Catnip - Array - Nepeta cataria
Hardy Perennial Catnip is a member of the mint family. It spreads rapidly and produces lavender flowers. The lemon-mint flavor and fragrance of its leaves make a relaxing tea for humans. Of course, cats love it, too! Using catnip as a companion plant can help deter many pests, including flea beetles.
Soil & Water: Seed directly in late spring after the last frost, or start indoors. You may want to grow it in containers to prevent it from becoming a renegade in the garden. Catnip prefers moderate water, but is drought tolerant once established.
Planting & Growing: The average germination rate for catnip seed is only 40%. Once established, the plant will send out runners and spread rapidly.
Harvesting & Storage: Gather the flowering tops in late summer and dry in the shade. Store away from moisture.
