Seeds are tiny, so sow on the surface or barely cover with a thin layer of soil (about 2–3 mm \/ ⅛ in) and gently press in. Keep soil lightly moist until germination, which usually takes 7–21 days. Give bright light and mild warmth for faster sprouting. Transplant or thin seedlings to about 30–45 cm (12–18 in) apart.

Catnip can spread by seed, so deadhead flowers if you want to keep it contained, or leave some blooms if you want it to self-seed. Pests are usually rare; the main “problem” is cats rolling in it—use a small cage or plant extras if you expect heavy feline traffic.

After main harvest, keep watering and feeding lightly to encourage side buds. In cold winters, cut plants back and mulch thickly; in mild zones they stay evergreen. After 3–5 years, divide or replant offsets to keep production strong. Watch for aphids and slugs, and prevent rot by ensuring good drainage and not letting crowns sit in water.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Srk Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51430236520730,"sku":"V053","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0894\/5657\/4746\/files\/1_2af3d105-c712-4a9e-a86f-bab873b2dc40.png?v=1765078120"},{"product_id":"green-globe-artichoke-25-seeds","title":"Green Globe Artichoke | 25 Seeds","description":"\u003cp data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"411\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"51\"\u003eOrganic Green Globe Artichoke (Cynara scolymus)\u003c\/strong\u003e is a classic heirloom variety valued for its large, tender flower buds and rich, nutty flavor.
