Biennials live for 2 years, whereas perennials live for longer. As a general rule, biennial and perennial seeds should be sown in spring, but some can be sown in autumn as well. Many varieties will self-seed after flowering, giving you even more plants!

Nepeta cataria ssp. citrinaLemon Catmint, Nepeta cataria 'Citriodora' Quite unlike ordinary catmint, handle or squeeze the leaves and they give off a rich lemony fragrancy which pervades the garden with rich flowery perfume on still, warm summer evenings.

Fashion conscious cats are taking it up in droves as the 'in' catmint to brush-up against. 'William' who's enthusiasm for catmint has not diminished since his last starring role amongst T&M's ordinary catmint 11 years ago, was persauded (on a full stomach) to pose against these lemons so that you would know about his new found catmint fragrance delight 'Lemon Scented Catmint'.Culinary note: Some parts of these flowers are edible.
