Catnip
Catnip is a perennial and medicinal plant with dense whorls of whitish purple flowers and leaves that have a pungent mintlike smell.
Catnip plants enjoy sun and are drought-tolerant ground covers, making them good candidates for sunny, dry areas where many other flowers would struggle. Excellent at attracting beneficial insects and cats love it!

Sow: Start 6 weeks before last frost date indoors and plant out after frost risk has passed (September to February Cool Climate)
