Growing Tips, Tricks and FAQs
Growing Tips

You can start seeds indoors 8-10 weeks before the last frost and transplant them outdoors once the danger of frost has passed​.

How to Grow
Grandview catmint thrives in lean (poor), well-drained soil, as overly rich soil can lead to floppy growth. It’s more ornamental than catnip, with a preference for slightly better soil conditions.

How to Save
Seeds are mature once the flower heads have fully dried and turned brown. To harvest them, cut the flower spikes and place them inside a paper bag. This allows the seeds to completely dry and drop; you may need to shake the bag gently to help loosen the seeds. Afterward, separate any chaff from the seeds and store them in a cool, dry place.
