Sprouts appear in 7-10 days at 60-70°F (16-21°C); a night in the freezer followed by a 24-hour soak can improve germination.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHarvest: Start harvesting individual leaves 12-15 weeks after sowing. For drying, cut the top growth before full bloom and hang bundles upside down in a dry, shaded, well-ventilated spot.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTips: Like mint, catnip spreads and self-sows freely - grow it in a container or deadhead flowers to keep it in bounds. Protect young plants with netting, as cats may trample them.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Pemdas Garden","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48402794283214,"sku":"7006","price":3.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0621\/5109\/8574\/files\/il_fullxfull.4075988260_8yg9.jpg?v=1790474525","url":"https:\/\/pemdasgarden.com\/products\/catnip-seeds-catnip-seeds-for-cats-seeds","provider":"Pemdas Garden","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
