Description
Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a famous heirloom perennial herb widely beloved by cat owners and gardeners alike. Belonging to the mint family, it features soft green heart-shaped foliage, delicate dark purple stems, and clusters of tiny white-to-lavender flowers. The leaves release an aromatic essential oil (nepetalactone) that drives cats wild with excitement while brewing into a relaxing, soothing herbal tea for humans. A tough, drought-tolerant plant that thrives in sunny garden borders and containers.
