Description
'Catnip- Lemon' seeds
Nepeta cataria ssp. citriodora
- Perennial to 90cm
- Mint-lemon fragrance
- Insect repellant
A perennial herb growing to 90cm x 90cm, with foliage with a pleasant mint-lemon fragrance. The aroma of this variety is said to be less attractive to cats than standard catnip, but more pleasant to humans. Leaves can be used in herbal teas, and the small white to purple flowers that appear in summer attract bees. Lemon catnip also makes a good companion plant as it is a natural insect repellant and will deter aphids.
