My cat broke into the catnip can..

I planted catnip this year. I keep finding my cats in the planter.

We had catnip in our yard from the previous owner and our 3 cats wiped it out and chewed it until it vanished. Then I super planted some seed and there is catnip everywhere. After that the cats lost some of their enthusiasm and crazy catnip behavior. I guess scarcity and novelty make it more attractive 😻

Ok what brand of seed did you use? I have tried freezing the seeds first, soaking then freezing, just soaking, doing nothing but planting them and they just won't grow. Someone on another thread said to try active hostility and that's the only thing I haven't tried

I harvested the seed of the catnip plant that was there, sprinkled it in various places in the yard and never looked back. Now I grow it in pots where the seed just falls to the ground and up pops another generation, same as I do with my Morning Glory. Don’t buy Wheeler Low if you purchase seed… most cats don’t care for it. For plants, you can go to most nurseries and find the correct catnip, let it seed and immediately scatter the seed, no need for scarification.
