Product Description
Create your very own historically inspired garden with this packet of Catnip Seeds. Native throughout all of Europe and Asia, catnip has been cultivated for at least 2000 years. It came to America with the earliest colonists in the 1600s. The 12-18 in. plants have gray-green foliage and though they once were grown for medicinal purposes like easing a sore throat, today the plant is grown for cats and the people who adore them.

Inspiration
Eighteenth-century Williamsburg was the home of many ardent gardeners and plant collectors who often exchanged seeds with fellow enthusiasts in Great Britain. Gardeners obtained their seeds from store merchants or from traveling seedsmen. Today, the Colonial Williamsburg seed program continues the tradition by offering many varieties grown in the 18th century.
