Or, bruise the leaves a little, and the neighbourhood cats will probably love it to death.   Meanwhile, most of us like it a lot and will lightly scarify the seeds and sow in spring.  Use a flat in the greenhouse or scatter on a prepared bed in the garden.  \u003cu\u003eSlow, low, and spotty germination is normal with this seed that is naturally loaded with germination inhibiting compounds.\u003c\/u\u003e  But that won’t slow it down permanently–the seed will eventually come up, either in a place where you planted it, or (almost magically) somewhere else, where worm, or crow, or sticky footed butterfly deposited it.  Space plants 60cm apart.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Happy Valley Seeds","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32866082586714,"sku":"H-B024","price":2.63,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/5416\/2522\/products\/catnip-seeds-904032.jpg?v=1700726364","url":"https:\/\/www.happyvalleyseeds.com.au\/products\/catnip-seeds","provider":"Happy Valley Seeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
