Catnip is easy to grow and readily available for purchase from most nurseries in the herb section.
It is available as seedling plants or in seed form, as is best planted in early spring. The plants grow quite large, and prefer sandy soil and full sun. A recent study has demonstrated three other plants that have effects on cats similar to catnip, Silver vine Actinidia polygama , Tatarian honeysuckle Lonicera tatarica , and Valerian root Valeriana officinalis.
None of these plants contain nepetalactone, but they do contain similar compounds. The effects of these three plants were observed on cats. Plant matter was rubbed on a sock or piece of carpet and offered to the cats. About half of the cats responded positively to Tatarian honeysuckle and valerian root. This research has opened the door for alternatives to catnip for those cats who are unaffected by it. Skip to main content.
