1500+ Catnip Seeds for Planting - Nepeta Cataria - Heirloom Non-GMO USA Grown Herb Seeds for Planting

I got these delivered on March 18 2021 and planted them 3 days later. They already sprouted, today is April 3rd. Two weeks!!! I used a well draining indoor soil amended with perlite. I water with a spray bottle not to overdo it. I keep the soil moist BUT NOT WET, so I spray it wherever the soil seems dry. I have the pot indoors on a southwest facing windowsill. I only planted about a third to half of the package and they are germinating at what looks like 100 percent. Not too shabby.*****************************UPDATE: 5/5/2021 The nip is still growing getting too crowded for this pot. Yeah the seeds work, so far I've used only a third of the packet.*****************************UPDATE 5/6/2023 The nip has survived two winters with not so great care. It died back a bit both times but it's still going. Great seeds.

Sprouted with no issues and they're growing like crazy in a little coffee can on my windowsill--one might even say growing like weeds! The plants are very strong and healthy. The smell is incredible--I'm not a fan of catnip scent myself, but the cats now know I keep the plant in that room and stand guard outside for me to come out in hopes that I've brought them a trimming. The smell brings 'em running from anywhere in the house. I've never seen cats react to catnip this strongly before. It's like the Children of the Corn when I come out, with these eerie kitty eyes fixated on me. I'd never tried to grow seeds from a small producer before and this was a great first experience.

I was hoping the non-GMO seeds would work for us. It seemed like they were going to because after placing them in the freezer for 24 hours, I placed them in soil; covered them with plastic wrap; and sprayed them with a spray bottle (to avoid over watering) each day. They sprouted then became too tall for the plastic wrap, so I removed it.They seemed to be doing okay without the plastic wrap, but then they started wilting despite my efforts in keeping the soil wet with the spray bottle. I tried to revive them but to no avail. If I'd left the plastic wrap over them longer, it's possible they would have gotten stronger, but I doubt it.I'm giving this only one star because the few seeds that sprouted (around 20 out of 1000!) died. The other seeds never came to be. I had even planted some of the seeds in a seed tray vs a pot with soil. Those never sprouted either. I guess it's time to try a different brand.

My cats absolutely go bonkers for this stuff. I plant in huge tubs and pull the plants in winter ajd dry the catnip for them

I planted these seeds in 2 planters for our catio. The catnip grew well and is a big hit in the catio!

After freezing the seeds for 48 hours, They sprouted within 2 days and are growing nicely. They are starting to grow primary leaves after a week. Growing them in a pot outdoors in coco coir with a bit of fertilizer.

Expensive

First batch of hundred or so seeds didn't work. I froze them and thaw them but only about 2 seeds germinated and they died. So, I place the rest of the packet, well over thousand seeds, directly into a pot. Many have germinated and growing. My suggestion is to use a lot of seeds and don't bother freezing and unfreezing. From germination to viable plant is taking a long time. After nearly 3 months, thin and frail baby plants are the results. So frail, they break when I try to get them to stay up.
