Description
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) grows mounded, clump-forming plants 24-30 inches tall with gray-green leaves and white mint-like blooms.
Sow on the surface, since seeds need light to germinate. We start indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost at 70-75ºF, then move outside after frost 12-18 inches apart. Sprout comes in 7-14 days.
