Catnip Seeds - Perennial

Generous amount of seeds in a pack. Pick up in N. Oshawa. Catnip is a great plant for kitties and humans. It has more benefits than just satisfying cats. This perennial herb is a member of the mint family and can attract beneficial insects to the garden while keeping pests away. Catnip is an easy-to-care-for herb that spreads quickly and does best along garden beds or as a border. It can also be grown in containers. In addition to its foliage, catnip grows white and lavender flowers and can reach four feet in height. The flower petals are edible and can be used in teas with the catnip leaves or added to salads. Seeds are tough and need to be stratified, which means they need to be slightly damaged before they will sprout. To stratify a catnip seed, freeze the seeds overnight and then leave the seeds to soak in water for 24 hours. After you have stratified the seeds, you can plant them indoors or outdoors. If planting outdoors, plant in rows after the last chance of frost. Catnip seeds can be planted in the spring or the fall. Please see my other vegetable and flower seeds listed. Happy planting !!
