HOW TO GROW
Sowing: Catnip grows best in well drained soil and full sun, though it can tolerate almost any soil. Direct sow the catnip herb seeds after the last spring frost, planting them 1/4" deep in rows 20" apart; when the seedlings appear, thin to 12-15" apart.
Growing: Keep the soil uniformly moist until the seedlings are well established. Since cats will crush the seedlings, protection may be necessary until the plants have grown to a moderate height. Control weeds. Pinch off flower heads for more leaf growth.
Harvesting: Single leaves or stems can be harvested as soon as the plant reaches a height of 8". For best flavor, harvest in the morning after the dew has dried. Use fresh or dried; for best results, dry in an oven or dehydrator. Keep dried leaves in an airtight container.
Seed Saving: Catmint prefers well drained soil and full sun, though it can grow quite well in almost any soil. Direct sow the Nepeta Cataria seeds after the last spring frost, planting them 1/4" deep in rows 20" apart; when the seedlings appear, thin to 18-24" apart. Catmint also grows well as a container plant. In the garden, catmint repels pests such as ants, aphids, and mice.

Catnip
Starts well from seeds in zone 10. Thanks
Great Germination~
Planted indoors and seeds germinated within 6 days. Love Everwilde. Their seed packets are resealable, have good info on the back. I've never had anything but praise for them as I have been completely satisified with every seed order I have placed with them.
Arrived on time
Arrived quickly and packaging looks good. Haven't planted them yet.
