Catnip
Nepeta cataria

Flowers all summer up to frost. I grow some in baskets so the neighborhood cats don't get it all before my cats do.

After seeing this photo of your catnip, I'm wondering about mine. Yours looks so bushy and healthy. I started mine from seed about 3 years ago. It comes back every year, but is really puny! And it has never flowered. It's in full sun in one area and semi sun in another. Any idea on the problem with mine? It's only about 3 inches tall this year (3rd year) and the stems just flop over. I've read that it's so invasive, but you couldn't prove it by mine! Thanks.
