Seed directly in late spring after the last frost, or start indoors. You may want to grow it in containers to prevent it from becoming rampant in the garden because once established, the plant will send out runners and spread rapidly. Catnip prefers moderate water but is drought tolerant once established.

Harvest flower and leaves in the morning after the dew has lifted and dry in the shade. Store away from moisture.
