Nepeta cataria
This variety had 4% germination and 86% dormancy for a total of 90% viability. This variety is germinating below standard. We're still learning the mysteries of catnip's dormancy so if you have any germinating tips, we'd love to hear them!
Treat your feline friend or your fine, fine self...it's highly medicinal!
Cats love it! Protect young plants with wire cages that allow the cat to get whatever grows through the cage without uprooting it. Deters flea beetles and mosquitoes, and attracts bees and lacewings. Different species than catmint!
