Frequently Asked Questions
Discover helpful information about catmint seeds, growing conditions, and the difference between catmint and catnip.
What is the difference between catmint and catnip?
Catmint and catnip belong to the Nepeta genus, but they are not always the same plant. Catnip commonly refers to Nepeta cataria and is especially known for its effects on many cats. Catmint often refers to ornamental species such as Nepeta × faassenii, which are widely grown for their decorative flowers and fragrant foliage.
How long does catmint take to grow from seeds?
Catmint germination and growth rates vary by species, seed freshness, and temperature. Sow according to the seed supplier's directions and maintain consistent moisture without waterlogging. Plants need additional time after germination to develop established roots and mature foliage.
Does perennial catmint come back every year?
Many perennial Nepeta varieties return each year when grown in suitable climates and well-drained soil. Their seasonal growth and flowering depend on the species, local temperatures, sunlight, and care. Check the specific variety's hardiness information to determine whether it will overwinter successfully in your garden.
