A perennial plant with a pleasant, delicate lemon aroma that is used for cats toys and cooking.
Stratify the seeds before planting by keeping them in the freezer overnight and then placing them in a bowl of water for 24 hours to break their dormancy
If grown outdoors, sow the seeds in early spring or early fall in well-draining soil in full sun.
Prepare the soil by removing any debris and loosening it to a depth of about 6 inches. Mix in compost or other organic matter.
Sow the catnip seeds 15-18 inches apart, with the seeds slightly covered by soil. Sow 2-3 seeds per plant to ensure a successful germination rate.
Water the soil lightly after planting and keep it moist but not waterlogged.
