Seeds – organic catnip

Organic gardener Laura Watt brings the perennial favorite of cats. Catnip is a European wildflower that was used to make tea. Its medicinal uses have included the promotion of a good nights sleep and relief of colds and fever.

A single leaf applied to cuts and scratches promotes healing and curbs pain.

No denying that catnip planted in the garden from seeds, makes your cat happy too. Dry the leaves and stuff into an old sock for a easy cat toy.

100 Certified organic seeds per pack.

Planting instructions: Start seeds indoors 4-6 weeks before last frost. Sow in rich, well drained soil. In mild winter climates, catnip can be planted from seeds year round.

Plant 1/4-inch deep. Be careful not to over-water. Sun or partial shade. Can also be grown indoors.
