Description:
Perennial herb that's famous because of the attraction cats have for the plant. The silver-green leaves and young shoots are also used as seasoning and a flavoring in tea. Attractive pale-pink or white flower spikes attract birds and bees.

SOWING:
Plant seed outdoors in a sunny or partial shade location. Seed should be sown 1/8 inch deep and covered with fine soil, well pressed down.

THINNING:
Thin to 18 inches apart when plants are 2 inches tall.

GERMINATION:
Germinates in 14 to 18 days, depending on soil temperature and weather conditions.

REMARKS:
Catnip will grow without special attention. It is only necessary to keep down weeds in order to have them succeed for several years in the same location.
