This variety features soft, gray-green foliage and produces spikes of small white to pale lavender flowers that attract pollinators. Its lemon-scented leaves make it a favorite for herbal gardens, borders, and containers, while cats enjoy the aromatic foliage just as much as they do traditional catnip.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEasy to grow from seed, lemon catnip is a versatile addition to any garden. Use it fresh or dried in teas and potpourris, or simply enjoy its refreshing scent and the butterflies it brings.

Press seeds lightly into the soil surface; do not cover deeply, as light aids germination. Keep soil consistently moist until seedlings emerge, which typically takes 10-20 days at 65-70°F. Thin seedlings to 18-24 inches apart when they are large enough to handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce established, lemon catnip requires little care. Water during prolonged dry spells, and trim back after flowering to encourage bushy growth and prevent self-seeding. Harvest leaves as needed for fresh use, or dry them for later. Divide plants every few years to maintain vigor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e300 Lemon Catnip seeds (\u003cem\u003eNepeta cataria\u003c\/em\u003e var. \u003cem\u003ecitriodora\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67776214303030,"sku":"FOLIA-411","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/4884\/8694\/files\/il_fullxfull.6575453421_b3p1.jpg?v=1792468370","url":"https:\/\/blakesflora.com\/products\/lemon-catnip-seeds-300-citrus-scented-nepeta-cataria-var-citriodora-herb-seeds-for-cats-gardens","provider":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
