Stratification prior to sowing can help germination. Catnip loves full sun, but in places of extreme heat, plant in an area that receives at least five to 6 hours of direct sunlight. Catnip needs space to branch out, so give plants plenty of room. Pinch off flower buds to encourage more leaf growth and prevent self-sowing.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHarvesting\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTo dry catnip, cut about 4 inches above the base of the plant. This can be done multiple times during the growing season ensuring a good supply. Hang upside down to air dry. If you have a cat, make sure you dry them in a place your cat doesn’t have access to. Cats also love the fresh growing herb. Place a small pot of catnip in the window sill and watch your cat visit it several times a day.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSeeds Per Package:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2 g - Approximately 6,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 oz - Approximately 48,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4 oz - Approximately 192,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 lb - Approximately 768,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e5 lb - Approximately 3,840,000 Seeds\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eNative to dry temporal climates, Catnip will thrive in mild conditions, producing fragrant flowers that can be used in several applications or as an ornamental plant for your flower garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c!--split--\u003e","brand":"Mountain Valley Seed Co.","offers":[{"title":"2g Pkg (3x4)","offer_id":35361829716130,"sku":"18720","price":1.89,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 oz","offer_id":35361829748898,"sku":"30947","price":7.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"4 oz","offer_id":35361829781666,"sku":"30946","price":16.86,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 lb","offer_id":35361829814434,"sku":"30945","price":48.31,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"5 lb","offer_id":35361829847202,"sku":"16620","price":179.14,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0444\/6706\/0898\/products\/catnip-seed-wm_700.jpg?v=1595856691","url":"https:\/\/bestchoiceproducts13-com.myshopify.com\/products\/catnip-seeds","provider":"bestchoiceproducts13.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
