NIKA SEEDS - Herb Catmint (Catnip, Catswort, Catwort, Catnep, Field Balm, Nepeta Cataria) for Cat Heirloom - 100 Seeds

CATMINT  A perennial spice plant. Stems are branched and growing 10 to 20". Leaves are velvety, with a high content of essential oils and tannins that give the leaves a nice hot taste and a strong lemon-mint flavor. Fresh and dried leaves are used to flavor drinks, marinades, and sauces and as a seasoning for meat and fish dishes. Planting instructions:   Fill your pot with soil, stopping 1-2 inches (2.5 – 5 cm) from the top. Scatter a handful of cat grass seed over the top of this. Then add a couple of handfuls of soil over the top so the seeds are covered with about 1/4 inch (0.6 cm) of soil. Water the seeds with 1/2 cup of water or so – you want the soil to be nice and moist. Once that's done, cover the pot with plastic wrap (not too tightly - you still want a little airflow!) and set in a warm and dark location. The second or third day you should see little sprouts coming up from the soil. Check that the soil is still moist every other day or so. As soon as the grass gets to the size 1' (2.5 cm), take off the plastic wrap and keep in a nice sunny place. When your grass is 4-6 inches (12-15 cm), feel free to let cat have a go at it! It normally takes about a week to get to this size.
