Instructions:
Catnip can be a little tricky to get to germinate, so to get the best results, use seed stratification. In other words, place the seeds in a freezer for 24hrs, then soak them in water for another 24hrs, after which theyāll be ready for planting.Ā
The herbs can be used in calming teas, or just for your cat! When you have an adult plant, you can cut a few inches from the base so that the plant can regrow.
