In addition to being a treat for most cats, catnip attracts beneficial insects to your garden including honey bees, butterflies and other pollinators. It is reported to be a mosquito repellent if you crush the leaves and rub them on your skin. 

Tiny catnip seeds will arrive still tucked in their flower bracts and contain a strong catnip scent. Keep this seed packet out of reach of curious cats. In order for these seeds to germinate more quickly seeds should be removed from the bracts by crumbling them between your fingers to allow the seeds to fall free of the bracts. 

Lifecycle: perennial
Zones: 3 to 8

H O W TO P L A N T
Sow seeds 1/8" deep where desired after all danger of frost has passed or in fall to germinate the following spring. Catnip self-sows freely; remove flowers (deadhead) if you do not want volunteer seedlings the following season.

Whether it’s slowing down to grow something from seed, or taking the time to preserve what we have -from food to furniture to textiles- we make an effort to find beauty in everything that crosses our path.

Seeds are packaged in 100% recycled, 20% post-consumer waste brown kraft envelopes. Thank you for recycling again. In an effort to save on paper and ink, planting instructions can be found above.
