The feline favorite. It does not have the same intoxicating effect on humans as it does on cats; rather a tea made from the leaves acts as a mild sedative. Nepatalactone, which is what cats are attracted to, is also repellant to mosquitos, flies, and aphids. The plant also contains iridodial which attracts Lacewings who in turn feed on aphids. The white flowers attract honey bees and butterflies. It grows well in most soils; reseeds. Protect plants from cats until established.
