Catmint - Nepeta racemosa
Type: Perennial
Catmint or Nepeta racemosa is a hardy perennial which originated in Europe and Asia, but which has spread to temperate regions across the globe. Catmint is most recognised for its effect on cats, and it has been documented the scent of bruised leaves of catmint can cause some cats to roll in it, paw it, lick it and/or heavily salivate. Some have been known to exhibit aggressive behaviour in its presence.
As a herb, the leaves of catmint were used for medicinal purposes, but now it is seen as a decorative plant, used in pot pourri.
Catmint prefers well drained soil, preferably in a sunny position, and dislikes wet winters. Producing purple-blue flowers in midsummer, catmint is scented and attractive to bees, and will be an attractive addition to the herb garden.
