Catnip Plant Care Outdoors. Catnip is a member of the mint family. Lightly cover the seed once sown.
Of course, cats love it, too! Despite catnip being a tough plant, it is susceptible to certain pests. It spreads rapidly and produces lavender flowers.
Catnip plants should be spaced between 15 and 18 inches (38 and 45 cm) apart.
Catmint can also be planted in pots for the enjoyment of your furry felines! Container grown catnip doesn’t have as many pest and disease issues as the herb outdoors. If, however, your catnip is growing in beds outdoors, you should prepare it for the winter months. With proper growing and catnip plant care, you will easily grow catnip and help it produce more flowers.
