HOME GROWN Non GMO Catnip Seeds (Bulk Pack) Heirloom Herb 2,116 Seeds - Indoor or Outdoor Seed - High-Germination Cat Nip - Cat Safe Plants (Nepeta cataria)

Took a long time to grow it outside. I watered it, kept in indirect sunlight for almost 3 months and then it started to sprout. Once it got 6 inches tall and had enough leaves, I'd pull off a few every few days and my cat'ls went wild over it. They'd smell it from inside the house and would follow me around meowing for it lol. A lot of work and waiting, when buying already ground catnip is so much easier.

Germinated quickly and so far I have only used 1/10 of the seeds provided and its grows like crazy … my cats really enjoy it and I will dry some of it for inside use

I planted these in a bunch of starter pots in my kitchen, hoping to grow some catnip to amuse our cat. Out of all those seeds, eventually about 10 or 12 actually sprouted. I nurtured them according to the instructions, but after many weeks, they just weren't growing anymore -- they got to be about 1/2" to 1" tall, and then simply stopped getting any bigger. I tried fertilizing them, I tried putting them outside in the sun -- nothing helped. They didn't die, but they just didn't grow. I finally threw them all out....

I have three cats, the tree of my cats went wild on this catnip.

These arrived on time and they did germinate, although the plants themselves didn’t get super big or many leaves. Although to be fair, I would not consider myself as having the greenest of thumbs, and we only grew them in a small planter inside the house on a windowsill. If these were planted outdoors with more spacing between the plants and more sun, they probably grow much bigger, which is what we plan to do later this year.

I have little gardening experience, but these catnip seeds were very easy to grow. I direct-sowed them in mid-May into four pots (7–8.5" diameter, 6–7" tall) using a mix of: --2 parts garden soil --2 parts peat moss --1 part compost --1/2 part crushed dried leaves --1/2 part cow manure Despite several summer heatwaves, by mid-August each pot was completely filled, and the plants were flowering. They also attract bees, which is great for pollinators. Care Notes Catnip is a perennial in many climates, so it should come back next year. I didn’t prune them, so they grew tall rather than bushy. Next year I’ll prune for a fuller look. Cats are known to enjoy it, though mine haven’t tried it yet. Some sources say catnip can deter mosquitoes, but I still got bitten. It might be more effective if you crush the leaves to release the scent. Overall If you’re a beginner gardener, this is a low-maintenance, high-reward plant that grows fast, handles heat well, and even flowers in its first season.

Growing from seeds is hit and miss for me. Swing and s miss. Maybe my withered green thumb. Maybe just baccd luck with seeds. I suggest doing what I didn't: add potting soil to the raised garden, and mulch the rows between.

lol I found the cat laying in the flower pot, rolling around in it. Success! Package as described.
