500x Nepeta Catmint Catnip Seeds – Mussinii Faassenii – Long Lasting Perennial

Nepeta Catmint Catnip Seeds: Mussinii Faassenii is a long-lasting, exquisitely fragrant perennial that adds silvery foliage and delicate lavender-blue blossoms to any garden. This compact Nepeta cultivar, which is renowned for its hardiness, does particularly well in well-drained soils, even in dry conditions, and flourishes in full sun to partial shade. It is a great option for wildlife-friendly gardening because of its softly arched stems, which draw pollinators like bees and butterflies. Catmint is prized for its long flowering season, which lasts from late spring to early October and requires little upkeep. It has a calming scent and an elegant, airy appearance, making it ideal for borders, walkways, cottage gardens, and container gardening. It offers consistent colour and texture year after year and is very robust and easy to cultivate.

Growing instructions:

In order to effectively cultivate Nepeta Catmint Catnip (Mussinii Faassenii) in the UK, plant seeds in a bright, well-draining seed compost indoors between February and April. Avoid overwatering the compost and gently press the seeds into its top. Until germination occurs, which typically takes 10–20 days, keep the temperature between 18 and 20°C. After the last frost, which usually occurs in late May, move the seedlings into separate pots after they have a few genuine leaves. Then, progressively harden them off before planting outside. Nepeta dislikes waterlogging, so pick a location with well-drained soil that is either sunny or somewhat shaded. Plants should be spaced 30–45 cm apart. Enjoy fragrant, long-lasting blooms throughout the summer, prune lightly after flowering to promote bushy growth, and water sparingly during dry spells.
