Catnip Seeds Organic

This is a herbaceous perennial plant from the mint family. It typically grows to a height of 30-50 inches and has a strong resemblance to mint with its grayish-green leaves. Catnip is known for inducing euphoric reactions in cats, often resulting in behaviors such as rolling, rubbing, and playful antics.

A packet of Nepeta cataria seeds typically contains around 200 seeds. Given the low germination rate of catnip seeds, you might need to sow more than one packet or thin the plants once they sprout to ensure optimal growth. After stratifying the seeds and sowing them in spring, you can expect a mix of successful germination, leading to a nice batch of catnip plants for your garden.

To grow Nepeta cataria successfully, it’s recommended to stratify the seeds before sowing them in spring. The seeds naturally have a low germination rate, but once established, the plant is easy to maintain. Catnip thrives in well-drained soil and is a hardy perennial, meaning it will return year after year.
