It's true: cats love it!
If you’d like to do your cat a favour, simply plant catnip – but be warned, if your cat is a big fan, you may have to protect your plants! Contrary to popular belief, catnip is not a drug. It is a member of the mint family and contains an ingredient called neptalactone. Although some cats don’t really respond to it, others absolutely love it. They adore the smell and will even eat it. When they do, it has a mild sedative effect and they just chill out.

How to Sow
As a member of the mint family, catnip likes to be kept moist. Sow it quite shallowly and keep moist until the seeds germinate. Although it can be sown direct, you will get better control over the germination environment in containers.
How to Harvest
Pick sprigs of catnip for your cat and see how she reacts! However, real catnip lovers will roll on the plants to enjoy the smell, so you may need to keep the plant out of reach of kitties.
