Perennial plant originally from the Mediterranean basin (potentially from Egypt), naturalized all over Europe, the Middle East and the Americas.
If the name includes the word 'cat', it is because this plant induces a strong reaction in most of those domesticated felines. They become euphoric and very excited; they will start rolling and sniffing around, and will do many other funny things.
For humans, catnip is instead used to soothe pain and unrest. It is also relevant to mention that, before the British Empire discovered tea in its Chinese colonies, infused catnip was a favorite for the royal court.
*This year, we were not able to harvest sufficient catnip seeds. Therefore, our seeds come from Jardin Vie-La-Joie.
Package: 150 seeds (Germination is slow and sporadic, sow more than you need to obtain enough seedlings.)

Common tansy has a strong aroma, but it is mainly used for its insect repelling properties. Indigenous people would also use it as an analgesic, contraceptive, and tonic. In decoction or liquid manure, it can act as a natural insecticide. It can also be used to drive mosquitoes away.
BEWARE: Common tansy contains highly toxic compounds for humans and other mammals if consumed at high doses. Must be used in small quantities and with extreme care.
