Looking for a plant that your furry friend will love? Look no further than Nepeta cataria, commonly known as catnip, catswort, or catmint. This perennial mint, 30 to 100 cm in height, is native to Eurasia but is now widely naturalized in North America, southeastern Australia, and possibly elsewhere. Its foliage has a minty odor that is very attractive to many cats who will roll, sniff, and paw at it. Catnip also has a number of other uses – the 2 to 3 inch leaves can be used raw or dried to make an aromatic herb tea with a mint-like flavor and are also used as a condiment or flavoring in cooked foods. Plus, it can be grown as an ornamental plant in your garden! It is drought-tolerant, deer-resistant, and can even repel certain insects like aphids and squash bugs. So, if you're a cat lover or just looking for a unique addition to your garden, give Nepeta cataria a try.
