CATMINT & CATNIPS
Botanical Name: Nepeta
Life Cycle: Hardy Perennial
Description/Size:
So what's the difference between the two? The names are interchanged regularly plus there's Calamints, mentioned previously, and the confusion never ends. Botanically, both are Nepetas. Until we nibbled the buds, we considered Catmints as only ornamental, while felines and humans consumed Catnip. In any case, they are long flowering, hardy perennials for faerie or flower beds
