Catnip Herb Seeds For Planting (Nepeta cataria)

Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is an herb known for its distinct effects on cats and various human uses. Its leaves and stems contain nepetalactone, a compound that triggers a euphoric response in most cats, often causing them to roll, rub, or become playful for about 10-15 minutes. For humans, catnip is used in teas to promote relaxation and aid digestion or as a mild sedative. The herb can also be used in cooking or as an insect-repellent due to its strong aroma.
