LIVE Catnip Young Plant~Nepeta Cataria~Natural/Organic Perennial Herb*Medicinal

Description: This listing is for 1 Young LIVE Plant (4" pot size approx.) CATARIA NEPETA "Catnip" or "Catmint" Perennial Herb Of course, the Catmint or Catnip plant is well known for it's popularity with the fur babies of the feline persuasion. However, it is JUST as useful as a medicinal herb for humans, as it is a mood elevator for the kitties. Catnip is a member of the mint family, and has a lot of the same medicinal purposes as other mints such as peppermint and spearmint. They are relaxants, which means things like coughing, spasms, anxiety, etc... are calmed down. It has a lovely smelling kind of lemony minty aroma, with large saw edged pointy leaved, bright to deep green foliage, and pale purple blossoms. It is easy to grow, and reseeds readily. It is a perennial, and propagates new plants by seed. It does NOT grow by sending out ground/root runners like the peppermint and spearmint plants do. So it will not take over an area quickly like those mints do. But will spread by reseeding, Catnip likes full sun, but can also do quite well in some shade as well. It likes to stay well watered, but prefers a well draining soil, rather than soggy soils, whereas Peppermint or Spearmint can tolerate very wet, swampy soils. The Catnip will not take to that environment nearly as well, and prefers to dry out between waterings. What you will be receiving is one plant that was sprouted early this past spring, and is about 4" pot size (I keep them trimmed back to stay easy to package). Grown 100% all naturally. We use all natural soil amendments and fertilizers; all homemade or eco friendly bug and disease controls, and rain water. We are also dedicated to reusing and recycling all that we can here. So using food grade plastic containers for pots, newspapers and grocery bags for packaging, and composting anything that is biodegradable are standard procedure for Gypsy Chycks. You will see a lot of plants in yogurt containers!! (I <3 yogurt). ***YES, I DO REUSE plastic for pots and shipping. My main focus is with REUSING and RECYCLING. I have not banned anything from being used. If it's something used that I can REUSE or RECYCLE, I'm doing that. And I'll reuse things until they disintegrate!!!!!! You CAN however, message me anytime and I am most willing to share my knowledge with you if you have any QUESTIONS!!! That is until AI figures out how to purge all of that good info from your brain. They're working on it!!! Blessings and LOTS and LOTS of Blossoms!!!!! Ava
