It should be in full sun to partial shade. Catnip does not feel comfortable in deep shade. Varieties with gray leaves flirt with a location in full sun and cope well with dry periods. Green-leaved varieties, on the other hand, prefer a sunny to partially shaded location.

Variety-dependent soil requirements

The soil for the catnip should be medium, well drained and loose. Ordinary garden soil is usually excellent. The following soil characteristics are still accommodating in growth:

  • medium to high nutrient content
  • fresh to moderately moist
  • pH of 6.4
  • gravelly-loamy to sandy-loamy

tips and tricks

Since catnip is a popular pasture for bees, you should not plant it directly next to a seat. Also remember that catnip attracts cats like mosquitoes to mosquitoes!
