Grew catnip and catmint from seeds last spring. The plants bloomed in June and my cat was completely obsessed with them. Easy to grow and the scent is pleasant. Perfect for a small garden or container.
Nathan Peters –
Sowed the seeds in April indoors. Transplanted to the garden in May. The plants grew well and produced flowers by July. My cat visited every day, especially when the flowers were in bloom.
James Fisher –
The seeds arrived quickly and were well packed. Followed the instructions exactly and the plants sprouted within two weeks. They are now flowering and my cat enjoys napping near them.
