Catnip (Nepeta cataria) is an aromatic perennial of the Lamiaceae family. It contains nepetalactone, the substance that attracts and stimulates cats, which makes it highly sought after by feline lovers. The aromatic leaves can also be used for calming teas for people. The plant is hardy, prefers sun and well-drained soils, and produces nectar-rich whitish-lilac flowers. Catnip attracts bees and butterflies and is also useful as a decorative garden plant.
