Likes rich or sandy soils, tolerates poor soil and drought. Catnip is said to calm mild stomach disorders, produce restful sleep and relieve fever when added to teas. Rats are reputed to despise it, so it is sometimes used as a companion plant for melons and squashes. Researchers at Iowa State University claim catnip is a top-notch mosquito repellant. They suggest that crushing catnip leaves then rubbing on the skin is several times more effective than using DEET. Zones 3–8.
