Catnip is a fun herb for cat owners, as well as for gardeners who want an easy-care plant with lavender-blue flowers and a minty fragrance.
Nepeta cataria is a vigorous member of the mint family. If you want to control its spread, plant it in containers. To reduce self-sowing, cut it back after bloom. Hardy in zones 3-9.
