Why Grow Catnip?

Catnip is famous for its intoxicating effects on cats, but it’s also a fantastic addition to any garden. This perennial herb features soft, grey-green leaves and blooms with small, pale flowers in summer. Catnip is incredibly easy to grow, preferring full sun and well-drained soil. It’s drought tolerant and attracts pollinators, making it a favourite for eco-friendly gardens.

Aside from its appeal to cats, catnip’s leaves can be dried and used for soothing teas, and its aromatic presence is a natural pest deterrent. It fits effortlessly into herb beds, borders, or patio pots, providing practical uses and ornamental value.

Catnip Care Tips

Catnip thrives best with minimal fuss. Water regularly in its first season, then allow it to become established. Prune back after flowering to encourage bushy growth and prevent self-seeding. Place your catnip plant in a location where your cat can access it, or keep it safely indoors if you want to preserve its leaves for your own herbal teas.

For indoor gardening enthusiasts, catnip also adapts well to pots, particularly in bright spaces. Looking for more easy-care indoor plants? Explore our range, including Stromanthe Triostar (Stromanthe Plant), Chlorophytum comosum variegatum (Spider Plant), and Cissus rhombifolia (Grape Ivy).

Catnip vs Cat Grass

While catnip is irresistible to most cats, other plants like Dactylis glomerata (Cat Grass) provide health benefits by aiding feline digestion and reducing hairballs. If you want to spoil your pet, consider planting both catnip and cat grass together for a harmonious, cat-friendly space.

Companion Plants and Garden Uses

Catnip’s pest-repellent qualities make it a smart companion for vegetables and ornamental beds. It works well alongside native grasses like Restio quadratus (Restios For Sale), creating attractive texture and movement. Plus, catnip’s silver foliage and flowers complement a variety of garden styles.
