Growing Information:
Catnip is very easy to grow. Seeds can be scattered outdoors in early spring on the surface of well-draining soil. They may also be started indoors in pots during the late winter and transplanted outside once established. Seeds dropped by plants in the fall are capable of surviving frost and are likely to grow in the spring. These perennials are cold hardy throughout North America. Plant them in full sun to partial shade.
