Bring in Bees (and Cats!) while Deterring Insect Pests!
Organic Catnip
Thrives in poor, hot, sandy soil where little else is happy.
Both the flowers and foliage are aromatic!
Catnip brings the good animals into the garden and keeps the pests away! Irresistible to cats and bees, it is a spreading, carefree joy in the bed or border, blooming all summer with fragrant flowers and foliage. We've known many gardeners who began growing Catmint to please their cats and were so delighted with these plants that they ended up a permanent feature in the garden!
Both the soft lavender-blue flowers and the green foliage are aromatic on these 2-foot-tall plants. And now we are proud to carry Certified Organic Catnip seed!
Asking only full sun, Catnip grows readily in poor, dry, sandy, or hot soils where little else is successful. It grows readily and returns reliably for years of pleasure. Zones 3-8. Pkt is 100 seeds.
