Catmint

Nepeta x faassenii

A tough, misty-blue flowered ground cover. The aroma gives cats a natural high – for the cat that ‘has been there, done that’.

Growing Tips: Likes a dry, exposed, sunny position with well drained limey soil. Plant where the cat can easily get to roll around the foliage.

Position: Full Sun

Height: 30cm Width: 45cm

Lifespan: Perennial

Use: Just like humans, cats have their recreational substances. Cat mint contains nepetalactone which gives cats a pleasant mind altering experience. They get this by rolling in the plant and sniffing the strong aroma.

Harvest: No harvesting needed.
