This persistent perennial is too
easy to grow! In the first year, a large bushy 4-foot clump will flower
and make abundant seed. The grey green foliage can create a wonderful
luxuriant foliage in a neglected place. Attracts bees and butterflies.
Grow specs: To 5 feet. Average soil. Full sun. The leaves and
flowering tops have been used as a folk remedy for a wide variety
of ailments. The active component found in catnip is a mild sedative
and the oils possess herbicidal and insect-repelling properties. (Photo
