Default Catnip Alternative

Hi, Jim. Does the Six Hills Giant type of nepeta attract cats, do you know?
Its botanical name is Nepeta x faassenii 'Six Hills Giant'.

Hmm, which are worse -- mossies or cats?!

Many thanks.

That's interesting, Charlie, as I had read somewhere that some types of
catnip were not cat magnets. The Six Hills Giant is the one I like the

look
of so maybe I should give one a try and see what happens.

Best regards.

Hey hey folks.. Don't confuse Nepata cataria with other nepetas. Yes
some do contain similar nepetalactones but not all Nepetas are catnips.
Recently discovered to be 10 times stonger than DEET for repelling
mossies incidentally.
