Description / Nepeta cataria Catnip
Catnip is a classic garden herb grown for both its ornamental appeal and its well known attraction to cats. Upright plants produce soft gray green foliage topped with spikes of lavender purple flowers from spring into summer, adding gentle color and texture to herb gardens and mixed borders. The fragrant foliage and long season of interest make Nepeta cataria a versatile addition to edible and ornamental plantings alike.
Beyond its appeal to cats, Catnip serves as an important host plant and provides a valuable nectar source for long tongued bees. It fits naturally into pollinator gardens, cottage gardens, herb gardens, and container plantings, where its flowers bring beneficial insects into the landscape. The combination of aromatic foliage, pollinator friendly blooms, and wildlife value makes it a useful plant for gardeners looking to support a more active and diverse garden environment.
Grow Catnip in part shade and average, well drained soil. It adapts to clay, loam, and sandy soils and forms an upright mound approximately 24 inches tall and 24 inches wide. Hardy in Zones 3 through 9, it is naturally resistant to deer and common garden pests, making it an easy care choice for a wide range of growing conditions. Regular harvesting of the foliage can encourage fresh growth while maintaining the plant's tidy appearance.
