What Is Catnip?

Catnip, scientifically known as Nepeta cataria, is a perennial herb from the mint family. If your cat could garden, it would definitely be on their list of must-have herb plants!

While catnip is well-known for its euphoric effect on cats, it has many other appealing qualities that make it a great addition to gardens. These include its appearance, potential health benefits, and ability to attract pollinators. 

Catnip Appearance and Characteristics

Catnip typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet, with sturdy, square stems characteristic of mint plants. Its leaves are light green, soft, and covered with fine hairs, giving them a slightly fuzzy texture. 

The catnip plant's flowers are usually white or lavender and form in small clusters at the ends of the stems. These delicate blooms, as well as catnip's fragrant, heart-shaped leaves, not only add subtle beauty to gardens but, as mentioned, also attract beneficial insects and pollinators like bees and butterflies. 

Effects on Cats 

The substance in catnip plants that triggers reactions from cats is called "nepetalactone." It is non-toxic, and catnip is safe for your cats, even daily. However, too-frequent use of catnip can make cats desensitized to its effects. 

When exposed to catnip, cats typically behave by licking, rolling, drooling, and chasing. However, reactions to this herb may vary among cats, as a response to catnip is hereditary. Not all cats are affected, and it might not affect senior cats and kittens. 

Catnip Origins and History

Catnip is native to Europe and Asia but has become naturalized in North America, where it grows wild in many regions. Historically, catnip was valued for its medicinal properties long before it became famous for its effect on cats. It was used in Europe and Asia for centuries to treat various ailments, from digestive issues to respiratory conditions.

The name "catnip" likely originated in Middle English sometime around the 13th or 14th century. While the first part of the name references the plant's effect on cats ("cat"), experts disagree on the etymology of the second part ("nip"). Some say that "nip" could be derived from the Middle English word "nippen," meaning "to pinch suddenly" or "to bite suddenly," which is how cats typically interact with catnip. 

Regardless of its name's etymology, one thing is for sure: cats have loved this plant for centuries!

Catnip Plant Care: Growing Tips

Growing catnip is relatively easy, making it an excellent choice for novice and experienced gardeners. Here are some tips to help you cultivate a thriving catnip plant:

  • Soil and Location: Catnip prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location, though it can tolerate partial shade. Ensure the planting site has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

  • Temperature:  Herbaceous perennial hardy in Zones 3 to 9

  • Watering:  Water daily until established in its new home; they become drought tolerant! Water the plants at the base to keep the leaves dry and reduce the risk of disease.

  • Planting: You can start catnip from seeds, cuttings, or transplants. If using seeds, sow them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Space the plants about 18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

  • Fertilizing: Catnip does not require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced fertilizer or compost in the spring should suffice.

  • Pruning: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy. Cut back the stems after the first bloom to encourage a second flush of flowers.

  • Managing Spread: This plant can be invasive. Remove the flowers before they go to seed to prevent it from spreading.

Uses and Benefits of Catnip

Catnip is versatile and offers numerous benefits for cats, humans, and the garden itself.

  • For Cats: As mentioned, the most well-known use of catnip is as a stimulant for cats. You can use fresh or dried catnip to make toys or sprinkle it in your cat's play area.

  • For Humans: Catnip has been used in traditional medicine for its calming effects. A gentle antispasmodic and very mild sedative, it can be made into a tea to help with insomnia, anxiety, and digestive issues. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using catnip medicinally.

  • In the Garden: Catnip is an excellent companion plant. Its strong scent deters pests like aphids, squash bugs, and beetles, making it a natural pest repellent. Additionally, its flowers attract pollinators, which can help improve the yield of nearby fruit and vegetable plants, as well as beneficial insects like ladybugs, which prey on garden pests. 

  • Culinary Uses: While not a common culinary herb, catnip can also be used in the kitchen. Its leaves can be added to salads, soups, and stews for a minty flavor, though it's essential to use it sparingly due to its very strong taste.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its practical uses, catnip is an attractive plant that adds beauty to any garden. It is also well-suited for growing indoors, providing a touch of greenery and feline entertainment all year round.

Wow, Wow Wow, wonderful book! You won't be able to put down.
Format: Paperback
Enemies to lovers Collin and Olivia are the perfect pair in an opposite attracts that really hits on all cylinders! After a fire Olivia tries to get her feet back on the ground and moves in with her brother and Collin. Collin just seems to have everything together and Olivia, well not so much. But the more they banter the more the heat is turned up and they stumble into something they are both not sure of. Plenty of mis understandings on both sides and the plot device of mis texting is taken to a high degree, but oh when all is straightened out the HEA is the best. As author Painter knew we needed more, the bonus scenes are oh so satisfying. Great, great book!

Fun light RomCom
Format: Paperback
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 4/5 Spice rating: 🌶 1.5/5🥵 Read if you like the following tropes: • Enemies to Lovers           • Brother's best friend          • RomCom                  • Forced proximity.    "So tell me exactly what you're wearing" It has been WAY too long since I've read a RomCom and this was THE perfect book to remind me how much I missed them! I read this book in one day simply because I could not put it down or stop thinking about it. "Mr. Wrong number: I texted the wrong number, didn't I? Me: Yeah, you did :)" This was such a light, fun, quick read that had me laughing. "I'd gone from finding her the most annoying girl in the planet to being inexplicably obsessed with her. " Loved the duel POV and how because the two MC's know each other, you not only got 🔥 banter between Colin and Olivia but also between Mr. Wrong number and Misdial (2x the 🔥 banter??? SIGN ME UP🙋‍♀️) "She was the first thing I thought of when I woke up in the morning,  and the last thing before I feel asleep. I would blow off anything to be with her, because everything was brighter when Olivia was around. " I Loved Olivia's disastrous luck, her passion for writing and live in the moment spirit. And I Loved the whole plot and texting element to the story . The one character I couldn't stand was Olivia's mother🙄😡 ugh. IYKYK I look forward to reading more from Lynn Painter as I really enjoyed her writing style.

Disappointing with too much "sturm und drang".
Format: Kindle
I was disappointed after the joy of "Happily Never After". I found both characters unpleasant. I've known people like her who broke everything they touched, and had zero consideration other people's property. She always refused to accept responsibility. It was always "Not my fault", or blaming the victim for the valuable she just destroyed. She's not funny. She's not honest, and she's not appealing. And he is a bit of a door mat, letting his father say the most awful things and not setting him straight and walking away. It's a pity because the premise is good and frequently hilarious, but she's a walking, talking red flag.

Mr. Wrong Number & Ms. Miss Dial
Format: Kindle
Lynn Painter has quickly become my go-to rom-com author, and Mr. Wrong Number is pure fun from start to finish. A wrong-number text turns into a flirty, anonymous connection that’s impossible not to love. Olivia is messy and relatable, Colin is slow-burn perfection, and the banter is sharp, swoony, and totally addictive. If you love texting mishaps, flirty sparks, and romances that feel real, this one’s a must-read. 💕📱

One sitting read
Format: Kindle
I think I might have a thing for text message chains and love letters. This book is full of witty, sexy banter. My personal faves. Colin: What would you do if you accidentally texted the wrong person something naughty, and they responded in a way that surprised you? You were so intrigued that you kept coming back to this faceless number. She's sexy, straightforward, effortlessly funny, and you can't stop thinking about her. And then you realize this mystery woman is none other than your unwanted roommate and best friend's sister. She's a dumpster fire in real life, but what if there was more to it than that? Olivia: Who hasn't started an apartment complex on fire, lost their job, and forced to move back home and live with their brother and his insufferable best friend? Add in some mismatched socks, and this is a typical Tuesday night for Olivia. I devoured this book. I opened it thinking I would read a few chapters and fall asleep. 4 hours later, I finished it. IN.ONE.SITTING. The bags under my eyes today were worth it
