Lemon Catnip
Nepeta cataria ssp. citriodora 'Lemony'X1671-510
A catnip variety that really lives up to its name, with a fresh lemon aroma that can be used as a mild sedative, although it may not have exactly the same medicinal quality as the standard variety. What a wonderful tea to sip before bedtime to help you sleep! Felines definitely notice a difference, as the lemon scent isnt quite as enticing. Easy to grow in a variety of conditions, but prefers full sun and well drained soil. Reaches a height of about 4 feet.
