Catnip Planting Instructions:
1. When to Plant: Sow indoors 6-8 weeks before the last frost, or direct sow in the garden once the soil is warm in late spring.
2. Preparation: Catnip thrives in full sun but is one of the few herbs that will also grow well in partial shade. It isn't picky about soil!
3. Sowing: These seeds are tiny! Barely cover them (1/8 inch) and keep them moist until they sprout.
4. Care: Pinch back the stems early on to encourage the plant to grow bushy rather than tall.
5. Pests and Diseases: The biggest "pest" is often the neighborhood cats! You may want to put a small wire cage over young plants until they are established enough to handle the extra "love."
