Catmint seeds produce herbaceous perennial plants known for their low-growing, spreading habit and soft, aromatic foliage. These plants are well adapted to a range of climates and perform best in full sun with well-drained soil. Catmint is suitable for garden beds, borders, and container planting, where it forms dense clumps and produces seasonal flowering spikes. Once established, the plants are relatively low maintenance and tolerate dry conditions.
