Nepeta cataria
CATNIP
SKU: 2750-100
A popular treat for cats! The names catnip and catmint are derived from the intense attraction about two-thirds of cats have toward the plant. It is also grown for its attractant qualities to house cats and butterflies. The iridoid that is deposited on cats who have rubbed themselves against the plants leaves repels mosquitoes.
It is a perennial plant that blooms from late spring to autumn. The flowers are fragrant and are either pink in colour or white with fine spots of pale purple. Nepeta cataria is cultivated as an ornamental plant for use in gardens. The plant is drought-tolerant and deer-resistant. It can be a repellent for certain insects, including aphids and squash bugs. Catnip is best grown in full sunlight and grows as a loosely branching, low perennial.
Nepeta cataria, is known by other common names including catnip, catswort, catwort, and catmint. It is native to southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia, parts of Mongolia, and parts of China. It is widely naturalized in northern Europe, New Zealand, and North America.
