The lemon catnip won't attract cats, however it may be too tall for
your use. Mine has stay under 2ft so far.
My lemon catnip is infested with spider mites this year so
it's not without it's own problems.

How about catmint. I mean the 12" variety from Wayside Gardens. I've had
it for about 4 yrs....great low maintenance plant, small grey-green leaves
& blue flowers that are very abundant. Takes full sun to partial shade &
drought tolerant. I feel like I'm writing for a garden catalogue.


"Dwarf catmint - napeta mussinii," I would presume (napeta x fassenii grows
to 2 feet, which is within the required height limits) . Maybe so, though I
haven't had success matching it against my deer-resistance sources. I've
considered "catmint" at Barton Springs Nursery, but something has kept me from
jumping on it.

Everything that I read says that cats love it - do they eat it, lay in it,
or what? When I gave a catnip ball to our cat when I was a kid, he played
with like he was drunk. The cat across the street already uses our mulch
for a litter box - I don't need it over more often.
