Sprinkle some joy into your feline's life with our pawsome Catnip Seeds! But don't let your cat keep this plant to itself! Catnip has many medicinal properties for humans, too, and is a popular addition to herbal teas.

Instructions:

We recommend using the following to sow the seeds: 

• 12 Cavity Greenhouse
• Soil Pods 
• Liquid Fertilizer 

Catnip can be a little tricky to get to germinate, so to get the best results, use seed stratification. In other words, place the seeds in a freezer for 24hrs, then soak them in water for another 24hrs, after which they’ll be ready for planting. 

The herbs can be used in calming teas, or just for your cat! When you have an adult plant, you can cut a few inches from the base so that the plant can regrow.
