Grow From Seeds

Growing catnip from seed

A hardy, easy perennial that bees like and cats love.

Sowing

Sow indoors in spring or direct outdoors once the soil warms. The seed is small, so cover only lightly.

Tips

  • Cats will happily flatten young plants: protect them with a cloche or netting until established.
  • Cut back after flowering to keep it tidy.

Always check the packet for your variety, and see the step-by-step guide for the basics.
