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'.




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.

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

Many thanks.

Visions of cats buzzing around someones head :~) make them even less popular
I reckon!
