Nepeta mussinii is a perennial herb in the mint family. It features heart-shaped, gray-green leaves and clusters of small white or lavender flowers that bring texture and movement to the landscape.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCatmint has long been noted for its association with felines, thanks to the compound nepetalactone. In households with cats, you may observe a playful response in some cats, while others show little interest.
