I planted all 100 seeds. Not a single seed germinated.

I was skeptical about ordering these catnip seeds, but I’m glad I took the chance! The seeds took three weeks to arrive here in Arunachal Pradesh, Northeast India, which is something to keep in mind if you’re ordering from this region.I followed the instructions exactly, cold stratifying the seeds in my refrigerator for six weeks before planting them. After just one week, I was excited to see the first sprouts coming up—even in my improvised germination setup!For anyone considering buying these seeds, patience and proper preparation are key. Cold stratification is necessary for better germination, so don’t skip that step. I’ll update my review once I transfer the seedlings to their grow-out pot and see how well they thrive.If you’re in India and looking to grow fresh catnip for your cats (I am growing these for the stray cats in my neighbourhood), these seeds are a great option—just be prepared for the waiting time!👍 Would I recommend? Yes! But only if you’re patient with the process.

After reading reviews I was worried the seeds would not germinate or it would take a long time just to get one plant. As seen in the photo, these germinated after just 5 days. I stratified the seeds in the refrigerator for 24 hours. I then used a soil pick and the container from a cat grass growing kit that I had on hand. I followed the same strategy as the cat grass. Planted the seeds shallow in the soil, covered with plastic wrap loosely, and placed the container in an area that does t get much light. After I saw a seed sprout, I moved it to a windowsill where it gets good sun. More seeds started germinating shortly after. Looks like I’m going to have a bunch of plants. I will move them to a different container when they start getting larger.

Once I grew these my cat started talking to me. We were having a conversation about our house mortgage and tax refund. 10 out of 10 would buy again but my cat advised me not to.

They arrived quickly. The packet is smaller than I expected for the price. Haven't planted them yet so I don't know how well they will germinate

They are very tiny in my photo but a good number of my seeds have started sprouting! I am NOT an experienced gardener, but I found that stratifying the seeds has been pretty straightforward.If you're a newbie like me and need help with these, I planted in early summer and followed these steps:- Made sure that the package was dry and put it in an air tight container.- The instructions say a few weeks, but I placed the container in the freezer overnight (about 8-12 hours)- After removing from the freezer, I filled a bowl with hot (but not painfully hot) tap water.- Empty the seeds into the water and let them soak for about a day, but no more than 48 hours. Some of the skin might peel a little but I think that is the protective coating that normally protects the seeds from harsh conditions.- Carefully drain the seeds from the bowl. There might be a better method but I used a mini baking sifter since the seeds are so small.- While the seeds are still damp, make your best attempt to scatter the seeds in a medium flower pot filled with well-draining soil. I used pretty cheap soil and tried to break any large clumps of dirt that I saw.- Gently cover the seeds with a thin layer of soil. However, the seeds are dark and so small I kind of just hoped that at least some of them were properly covered.- Cover the pot with a plastic lid / plastic wrap and place it outside. Water everyday just enough to get the soil wet.- ta-dah you are one step closer to hooking your cat up for life

Catnip seeds are notoriously difficult to grow no matter what brand I buy. I found the best way is to make sure planting soil is well saturated and loose, sprinkle just a few seeds evenly spaced, cover with Saran wrap, leave in dark cool place, let it germinate tiny leaves, remove Saran wrap and place in strong sun light, make sure soil around each tiny sproat is moist till they grow to 3 inches tall. Fully mature catnip 10 inches or taller don't like too much water. Dampen soil with fine mist only when soil is noticably dry or leaves begin to wilt. If the leaves turn yellow, you are over watering. Leaves should be healthy green color. Fully mature plants will sproat flowers and then seeds, which you can dry out and plant in new soil. Catnip does not like to be replanted because the roots are very fragile. Instead sprinkle new potting soil when the soil gets low or depleted in nutrients.

The package said they can be hard to grow, so I put a few seeds into the starter puck I typically start all my seeds with and about 5 tiny sprouts popped up. I call that success and better than what I felt was promised on the packaging. Definitely good seeds!(I’ll update this later when the plants are big enough my cats can have fun with them!)UPDATE: WATCH YOUR CAT! I had 4 plants that I had started growing from these seeds. My cat started noticing them after they sprouted so I kept a glass jar over them so he couldn’t get to them. This morning I took the jar off to water them, and replaced it with a larger, plastic container (to let air circulate through). BAD IDEA! He pushed off the container and managed to eat 3 of the 4 sprouting little plants! UGH! Well, at least now I know that my cat will absolutely LOVE these if I can manage to grow them to the point where he can just nibble on them without killing the whole plant!ANOTHER UPDATE: My cat is so crazy for this catnip, I’ve now had to move the plants into a terrarium so that they can grow bigger! (See pictures.)
