Details

Catnip is a perennial addition to the herb garden. It produces green leaves and white flowers, making it ornamental as well as utilitarian. Gardeners often grow catnip for their feline companions, as the oil in the plants acts as a stimulant in cats. Catnip is also used in relaxing teas that aid in upset stomachs, nervous headaches, colds, and intestinal cramps in humans. Also attracts bees and butterflies. Grow catnip from seed and provide this versatile herb for both you and your cat's enjoyment!
