Description

Also known as Catmint or Catswort and is a member of the mint family.

The lemon catnip makes an attractive bush with oval grey-green toothed leaves and white flowers with a purplish tinge. Cut the plant back in autumn to encourage fresh growth in the spring.

Unlike ordinary catnip, which has a distinctive musky smell, the leaves of this variety are lemon-scented however it is still popular with most cats who will roll and play with it when the leaves are bruised.

It has been found that rabbits and deer will not eat this Lemon Catnip and it is said to repel mosquitoes. If grown among brassicas, it is said to keep away aphids and flea beetles too.

The French use the young leaves in salads and as a flavouring.

Catnip has been used in medicines for over 2,000 years and makes an excellent tea which is high in Vitamin C. It can also be used to treat nervousness, insomnia and hyperactivity as well as colds and fevers.
