When I put a catnip plant in my garden, it was eaten within 2 days, so I would appreciate any advice on how to keep catnip longer!
Hi Twink55,
I bought small catnip plants, I think they call them plugs, from EBay but your local garden centre might have them or can get them, I don't have a car so this was not an option.
On arrival I would plant them in pots indoors until they were around a foot high. I then transferred them to the large tub in the garden. Once established they will grow really thick and need to be cut back.
Come October I cut them right back and basically hope for the best as I am no gardener so have no idea if what I am doing is the right thing but it seems to work.
