NEPETA PINK CAT

First year flowering perennial. This uniform strain produces dense flower spikes with a mid pink colour and are more than select. A real value for money plant which gets better each year.

Catnip plants enjoy sun and are drought-tolerant ground covers, making them good candidates for sunny, dry areas where many other flowers would struggle.

Nepeta cataria is the preferred herb to grow for cat-lovers; fewer cats are attracted to Nepeta mussinii.

Start the seed in two-inch pots, using a quailty cmpost mix. Moisten the soil then press the seeds lightly down and cover lightly. Cover the pots with plastic, and keep warm.

Expose the young plants to full sun as soon as they start sprouting, and do not allow them to dry out.
