Nepeta mussinii


The catmint plant (Nepeta mussinii) is an excellent addition to any garden. With its beautiful lavender-blue flowers, aromatic leaves, and ability to attract cats, catmint is both attractive and functional. 

The Growers Exchange offers top-quality catmint plants grown sustainably by our team without harmful chemicals. Discover the benefits of this versatile plant, and see how it can improve your garden.


What Is the Catmint Plant?

The catmint plant is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is known for its drought tolerance and long blooming season.

Catmint Appearance and Characteristics

The catmint plant is highly ornamental, with its soft, gray-green leaves that are aromatic when crushed. Its most notable feature is the beautiful catmint flower, which blooms in shades of lavender and blue.

The plant has a spreading, bushy habit and can grow anywhere from 12 to 24 inches tall, depending on the variety. Its foliage forms a neat mound, and the flowers appear on upright spikes, creating a stunning display throughout the growing season. Planting catmint is a great way to add color to garden borders and walkways. 

One of the unique qualities of the catmint plant is its ability to bloom over an extended period. It produces eye-catching blooms from late spring to fall, especially if deadheaded regularly. Catmint's longevity and resilience make it an excellent choice for gardeners looking for a plant that requires minimal effort yet provides lasting beauty.

Catnip vs. Catmint: What's the Difference? 

Like catmint, catnip (Nepeta cataria) is a member of the mint family. Both plants can stimulate felines as they contain nepetalactone, which induces playful and euphoric behavior in many cats. 

However, some cats seem unaffected by catnip but are drawn to catnip, and vice versa. The concentration of nepetalactone can vary between the two, which may explain different reactions. Individual feline sensitivity to this compound can also influence their preferences, as some cats are genetically predisposed to respond to nepetalactone while others are not.

The two plants share a similar fragrance, but catmint is more commonly used in gardens because of its decorative qualities and ability to attract beneficial pollinators. Catmint is also a practical choice for gardeners seeking a plant that is both beautiful and easy to care for.


Catmint Origins and History

Native to Europe, Asia, and the Mediterranean, catmint has been cultivated for centuries for its ornamental beauty and practical uses. Historically, it was used as a mild remedy for colds and digestive issues. Gardeners also relied on catmint for its pest-repelling qualities and ability to attract pollinators. Today, it is still appreciated for its ability to enhance a garden's aesthetic appeal and support pollinator populations.

Catmint Plant Care: Growing Tips

Caring for the catmint plant is straightforward, making it perfect for gardeners of all skill levels. Follow these catmint plant care tips to keep your plant healthy and thriving:

Light: Catmint plants thrive in full sun but can also tolerate partial shade. For the best flowering results, give your plants at least 6 hours of sunlight daily.

Temperature: These plants are hardy in USDA zones 3-8, making them suitable for a wide range of climates. They can tolerate both heat and cooler temperatures, performing well in various environments.

Soil: Catmint prefers well-draining soil but is highly adaptable. It can thrive in poorer soils, including dry, rocky, or less fertile areas. Its ability to survive in tough conditions makes it an ideal plant for gardens with challenging soil types.

Watering: Once established, catmint requires little watering. It is drought-tolerant and does well in dry conditions, making it a great choice for low-water gardens or xeriscaping. However, during particularly dry spells, deep watering may be necessary to keep the plant thriving.

Fertilizing: Catmint doesn't require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced, all-purpose fertilizer in the spring will help promote healthy growth and vigorous blooms.

Pruning: Deadheading spent flowers will encourage more blooms throughout the growing season. In late fall, you can trim back the plant to maintain a neat appearance and prepare it for fresh growth in the spring.

Uses and Benefits of Catmint Plants

The catmint plant offers a wide range of benefits, making it a valuable addition to any garden:

  • Attracts Pollinators: The catmint flower is highly attractive to bees, butterflies, and other pollinators, helping to support local ecosystems. Gardeners looking to create a pollinator-friendly environment will find catmint to be a perfect choice.

  • Deer and Rabbit Resistant: One of the plant's practical advantages is its resistance to deer and rabbits. These animals tend to avoid catmint, which makes it a low-maintenance plant in areas where wildlife might otherwise be an issue.

  • Deters Pests: Catmint is also a great insect deterrent, especially against aphids and Japanese beetles.

  • Drought Tolerant: Once established, catmint is highly drought-tolerant, making it an excellent choice for gardens in arid regions. Its ability to thrive with minimal water makes it ideal for xeriscaping and low-water garden designs.

  • Versatile Garden Use: Whether along garden borders, in rock gardens, or as ground cover, catmint adds vibrant color and soft texture to any garden setting. Its ability to spread and fill gaps and spaces also helps suppress weeds, providing a natural and attractive ground cover option.

  • Natural Companion Plant: Catmint pairs well with various other plants, making it an excellent companion in mixed garden beds. For instance, its soft, flowing form complements bolder perennials like daylilies, roses, and echinacea.

  • Traditional Herbal Uses: Historically, catmint was brewed into teas to help with mild digestive and respiratory issues. While it is no longer commonly used for these purposes, its history as a traditional medicinal herb appeals to those interested in herbal gardening.

I Wanted to Like It
Style: SPF 50, Size: 1 count (Pack of 1)
I really wanted to like it because of the great reviews it gets with backpackers and generally with people that don't like "greasy hands syndrome" after applying sunscreen. But after using a stick I found that it's just not that good. The good: small, lightweight container. Not greasy. Good protection, I was in the sun all day hiking multiple days straight and only put on sunscreen twice per day and I didn't have any burning... and I burn easily. The bad: Value: the $12.53 sunscreen container only lasted about 8 days. And that was just my arms, neck, and half my face since I wore a shirt and long pants and a wide brim hat every day when hiking. I would expect this amount of sunscreen to last a lot longer than that on such a limited area. I'm not a big person either. Application, chafing: it's the opposite of greasy, almost chalky. You use the stick to apply to your skin in stripes, then you have to "blend it in" by rubbing with the backs of your hands so your palms don't get chalky. Since the stick is so dry this requires a fair amount of force and it chafes as you rub it around. When your skin a bit sandy it hurts. Application, crumbling: on a chilly but sunny morning, about 45 F, I applied sunscreen and small chunks of the stick crumbled off. I watched precious chunks of the already overpriced sunscreen drop to the ground. Residue: while it's not greasy, it's physical sunblock so it gives your skin the characteristic whitish sparkle. That's to be expected. But what I didn't foresee is it will rub off on anything your skin touches. My gear had white chalk-like marks (technically titania powder?) on my shirt collars, backpack straps, sunglasses, and a few other high-touch items. Overall I think it's a neat idea. I'm not overly disappointed with my purchase. But for $12.50 I expect sunscreen to be easier to apply and for the container to last longer than about 8 days. I can't burn $50/month in the summer months when a single container of chemical sunscreen will do the job. Pro tip: you can buy food-safe 3 oz TSA travel containers. Load one of those up with chemical sunscreen and you have something that beats this in every way except for the greasiness, which you can mitigate by picking a lower SPF sunscreen (the 30 SPF you wear is infinitely better than the 50 SPF you skip!).

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Perfect Sunscreen for Active Kids!
Coppertone Kids SPF 70 is a must-have for any parent! I’ve tried several sunscreens for my kids, but this one stands out for its reliability, protection, and ease of use. It’s no surprise it’s the #1 pediatrician-recommended brand—it really delivers. What I love most is that it stays on strong, even when my kids are running around, sweating, and jumping in and out of the pool. The water resistance (up to 80 minutes) is a huge plus, especially for long beach days or outdoor sports. I don’t have to constantly reapply it every 20 minutes like with some other brands. It’s also gentle on sensitive skin—my kids haven’t had any reactions, and there are no dyes or PABA, which gives me peace of mind. The lotion goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave that sticky or greasy feeling. The SPF 70 protection is fantastic, especially for long summer days in the sun. And with a generous 8 oz bottle, it lasts a while even with frequent use. If you’re looking for a sturdy, effective, and kid-friendly sunscreen, this is the one. It keeps my little ones protected so they can just focus on having fun—and I can relax knowing they’re covered!

Definitely my go-to sunscreen for my kids—highly recommend!

Excellent Protection for Active Kids
The Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion, SPF 70 has become a must-have in our outdoor routine. This sunscreen provides outstanding protection for my child’s skin, and I trust it to keep them safe during long hours outside. Reliable Sun Protection for Kids This sunscreen offers excellent SPF 70 protection, which is ideal for active kids who love being outdoors. I appreciate that it’s designed specifically for children, and it holds up well during activities, even with a lot of sweating or water play. Slightly Thick, but Worth the Effort The only small drawback is that it’s a bit thick, making it a little difficult to squeeze out of the bottle. However, once applied, it absorbs well and doesn’t leave a sticky residue, so it’s worth the minor inconvenience. Final Thoughts Overall, Coppertone Kids Sunscreen Lotion is an effective, reliable option for parents looking to keep their children protected in the sun. Despite the thicker consistency, it’s easy to apply and provides lasting coverage—highly recommended for peace of mind outdoors!
