What Is Catnip?

Catnip, scientifically known as Nepeta cataria, is a perennial herb from the mint family. If your cat could garden, it would definitely be on their list of must-have herb plants!

While catnip is well-known for its euphoric effect on cats, it has many other appealing qualities that make it a great addition to gardens. These include its appearance, potential health benefits, and ability to attract pollinators. 

Catnip Appearance and Characteristics

Catnip typically grows to a height of 2-3 feet, with sturdy, square stems characteristic of mint plants. Its leaves are light green, soft, and covered with fine hairs, giving them a slightly fuzzy texture. 

The catnip plant's flowers are usually white or lavender and form in small clusters at the ends of the stems. These delicate blooms, as well as catnip's fragrant, heart-shaped leaves, not only add subtle beauty to gardens but, as mentioned, also attract beneficial insects and pollinators like bees and butterflies. 

Effects on Cats 

The substance in catnip plants that triggers reactions from cats is called "nepetalactone." It is non-toxic, and catnip is safe for your cats, even daily. However, too-frequent use of catnip can make cats desensitized to its effects. 

When exposed to catnip, cats typically behave by licking, rolling, drooling, and chasing. However, reactions to this herb may vary among cats, as a response to catnip is hereditary. Not all cats are affected, and it might not affect senior cats and kittens. 

Catnip Origins and History

Catnip is native to Europe and Asia but has become naturalized in North America, where it grows wild in many regions. Historically, catnip was valued for its medicinal properties long before it became famous for its effect on cats. It was used in Europe and Asia for centuries to treat various ailments, from digestive issues to respiratory conditions.

The name "catnip" likely originated in Middle English sometime around the 13th or 14th century. While the first part of the name references the plant's effect on cats ("cat"), experts disagree on the etymology of the second part ("nip"). Some say that "nip" could be derived from the Middle English word "nippen," meaning "to pinch suddenly" or "to bite suddenly," which is how cats typically interact with catnip. 

Regardless of its name's etymology, one thing is for sure: cats have loved this plant for centuries!

Catnip Plant Care: Growing Tips

Growing catnip is relatively easy, making it an excellent choice for novice and experienced gardeners. Here are some tips to help you cultivate a thriving catnip plant:

  • Soil and Location: Catnip prefers well-drained soil and a sunny location, though it can tolerate partial shade. Ensure the planting site has good air circulation to prevent fungal diseases.

  • Temperature:  Herbaceous perennial hardy in Zones 3 to 9

  • Watering:  Water daily until established in its new home; they become drought tolerant! Water the plants at the base to keep the leaves dry and reduce the risk of disease.

  • Planting: You can start catnip from seeds, cuttings, or transplants. If using seeds, sow them indoors 4-6 weeks before the last frost date or directly in the garden after the danger of frost has passed. Space the plants about 18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.

  • Fertilizing: Catnip does not require heavy feeding. A light application of a balanced fertilizer or compost in the spring should suffice.

  • Pruning: Regular pruning encourages bushier growth and prevents the plant from becoming leggy. Cut back the stems after the first bloom to encourage a second flush of flowers.

  • Managing Spread: This plant can be invasive. Remove the flowers before they go to seed to prevent it from spreading.

Uses and Benefits of Catnip

Catnip is versatile and offers numerous benefits for cats, humans, and the garden itself.

  • For Cats: As mentioned, the most well-known use of catnip is as a stimulant for cats. You can use fresh or dried catnip to make toys or sprinkle it in your cat's play area.

  • For Humans: Catnip has been used in traditional medicine for its calming effects. A gentle antispasmodic and very mild sedative, it can be made into a tea to help with insomnia, anxiety, and digestive issues. Always consult with a healthcare provider before using catnip medicinally.

  • In the Garden: Catnip is an excellent companion plant. Its strong scent deters pests like aphids, squash bugs, and beetles, making it a natural pest repellent. Additionally, its flowers attract pollinators, which can help improve the yield of nearby fruit and vegetable plants, as well as beneficial insects like ladybugs, which prey on garden pests. 

  • Culinary Uses: While not a common culinary herb, catnip can also be used in the kitchen. Its leaves can be added to salads, soups, and stews for a minty flavor, though it's essential to use it sparingly due to its very strong taste.

  • Aesthetic Appeal: Beyond its practical uses, catnip is an attractive plant that adds beauty to any garden. It is also well-suited for growing indoors, providing a touch of greenery and feline entertainment all year round.

“My heart bows to you and you only, Huntress.”
Format: Kindle
3.5 🌟 This book popped up in my KU recommended reading suggestions and the synopsis sounded like what I was in the mood for. I'm so glad I took a chance on it. I went into this knowing absolutely nothing about it and ended up really liking it. I love when this happens. The main characters are likeable and I easily found myself rooting for them. There is a mystery element to each of their backstories that I enjoyed watching unfold and can't wait to get more of. Wolf, in particular, has me fixated. Love him. I found this to be an entertaining, addictive read with a plot that moves along at a good pace. It reads so easily I found myself very reluctant to put it down. Lots of twists and turns and the angst is there. A good set up for the next book to come, for sure. My issues with this book....the dialogue feels a bit juvenile at times and there is a repetitive over use of a particular word phrasing that I found myself giving the ole eye-roll to. There are, without a doubt, some pretty cliche moments that gave me a bit of the cringe. I think this could've certainly 100% benefited from more depth regarding the world building. Perhaps the world building was sacrificed to keep the pacing quick? Just a guess. Also, the lack of consistency of character for the FMC was really evident and so she feels quite illogical at times. Overall, this was a fun and enjoyable read that hit the spot well enough for me. That ending certainly has me impatiently pining for book 2!

Interesting take on the genre
Format: Kindle
True rating: 3.25 ⭐️ I enjoyed the fresh take on the genre. The best way I could describe the setting and world is an apocalyptic dystopian version of Farie where vampires, fae, and angles struggle to survive in what is left of the world. It was definitely interesting throwing the academy/hunger games aspect into this world as well. Even though I guessed the final reveal early on in the book, I kept hoping I was wrong, and it would take a surprising turn. While the "plot twists" were a bit predictable to me, I still enjoyed the ride this book took me on. Another downfall for me was the plot holes in the world building... I.E. if society has fallen and the world is in the aftermath of war, how are there trains running around the world? Just to take young adults to the trials to get into the golden city? How is the train maintained, the tracks clear, etc? However, I did enjoy the FMC & MMC and thought they were fleshed out nicely. I also enjoyed the side characters but wish some were developed more like Ashalin (sp?). I do find myself rooting for the MCs to succeed and find happiness together, which is obviously an important aspect for romantasy. Overall, was this an earth-shattering, mind-bending, terrific piece of literature? No. But was it the worst thing I've read this year? Also, no. This book has, to me, the bones of a great read & just needs a bit more to push it from an alright book to a great book. Overall ratings: Plot- 3.5⭐️ World building 3⭐️ Spice 2.5 🌶🌶 Main characters 4 ⭐️ Supporting characters 3.5⭐️

great book
Format: Kindle
I am really excited to meet the author at the book retreat this month. I really enjoyed this world that she built and most of the female main character Huntress is so awesome. She goes through a lot in this book and the ending; wow! I wouldn't have even guessed. I highly recommend everyone to read this book. I have been so lucky this year that almost all the books I have read have been, so far, 5 out 5 stars.

Fallen for the Fallen Angel – A Guilty Pleasure Worth Every Page
Format: Kindle
There’s something deeply irresistible about a dark academia or trial-based setting, a brooding and arrogant fallen angel, and a fierce heroine with enough sass to go toe-to-toe with him. Wings So Wicked is exactly that kind of book—and I devoured it in just a couple of days. To be fair, the plot isn’t groundbreaking. If you’re looking for something fresh and innovative in terms of storyline, this might not be it. But if your reader heart beats faster at the mere mention of enemies-to-lovers, jealousy-fueled banter, magical trials, betrayals, and forbidden tension—you’ll feel right at home. It’s like catnip for those of us with this particular weakness. The chemistry between the leads could have used a slightly slower burn to make the tension sizzle longer, but I still found myself completely invested in their dynamic. There are moments and phrases that feel a bit cheesy or underdeveloped, but honestly? I didn’t care. The vibes were exactly what I wanted. This book isn’t trying to reinvent the genre—it’s here to give readers like me what we crave: high-stakes magical drama, angsty romance, and the thrill of watching a badass girl and her brooding counterpart clash and spark. If that sounds like your kind of story, Wings So Wicked will hit the mark. Here’s hoping Book 2 turns up the heat and keeps the magic alive.

my new favorite book
Format: Kindle
Ok so I never write reviews but this book was so good I felt the need to write this. Firstly your introduced to Huntyr you see her closed off hard core badass than towards the end you see the most subtle change and growth it’s amazing and the enemies to friends to lovers was just perfect, AND THE TWIST AT THE END GOT ME GOOD! You see one spicy scene the whole book but it doesn’t even MATTER BECAUSE THE BOOK WAS THAT GOOD. I’ve read 85 books in 2023-2024 so far and I’m pround to say this is my all time favorite. I’m so excited to read more of Emily Blackwoods books, this was my first time reading one of hers and I’m glad I did because HOLY!! Well done Emily well done
