Product description
Catnip Lemon is a great option if you enjoy the appearance of regular Catnip but aren’t a fan of the smell. This variety is very similar in appearance, but has a beautiful, light lemon fragrance. Oval-shaped, green, toothed leaves begin to bloom in spring and will die back during the winter months, whilst small, white flowers tinged with purple bloom from summer through until the first frost.
Catnip Lemon flowers can be used in salads, adding a delicate flavour, and the leaves can also be drunk as tea. This plant also acts as a natural insect and pest repellent, and so makes a great addition to your summer herb garden.
Please Note: Images are for illustrative purposes only and designed to be a representation of the item(s) being sold. Depending on seasonality, deciduous plants may be supplied in their dormant state and without leaves. Plants may also be pruned back, lower than stated heights, to encourage new growth.

Garden Plant Size Guide
Plants in larger pots can be multiple years older than their smaller counterparts with more mature root systems and foliage. This makes them able to thrive as a full size plant in your garden quicker than smaller alternatives.
The most common size of pot that garden plants come in are 9cm/1L/3L/5L this is in reference to the diameter at the top of the pot.
9cm potted plants still remain the most popular cost effective option though, they just may take a little patience to allow them to grow into full maturity once planted in your garden.

Top Tip
Ladybirds love to hibernate among the leaves during the plant’s dormant season, so delay cutting back faded foliage until spring.
How to Water
Water regularly until established. After this the plant is drought tolerant and only needs to be watered during particularly dry spells.
How to Plant
Grow in full sun or light shade in moist but well-draining soil. Weed the area thoroughly and place catmint plants in holes around 30-60cm apart. Backfill with soil and compost, firming down gently as you go, then water in well.
