Lemon Catnip is like common Catnip but with a pleasant lemony scent. In the garden, Lemon Catnip attracts honeybees and other pollinators. Lemon Catnip is used fresh or dried in herbal medicine for its sedative properties. Lemon Catnip has gray-green lemon scented foliage. Lemon Catnip is easy to grow and will attract beneficial insects. While some cats love to eat, play, and sniff Lemon Catnip, others will simply ignore it.
