Catnip (Nepeta cataria), a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae), is a hardy perennial herb best known for its intoxicating effect on cats. Catnip is a perennial herb that typically grows 2 to 3 feet tall, showcasing square stems, a classic trait of the mint family catnip produces small, tubular flowers.
Cherished for more than just feline entertainment, it is also valued for its medicinal uses, pollinator support, and ease of cultivation.
Beyond its visual appeal, catnip is rich in nepetalactone, an active compound that triggers a euphoric or calming response in cats by stimulating their sensory neurons. For humans, the plant offers mild sedative properties, making it a popular choice in herbal remedies aimed at promoting relaxation and alleviating stress.
