The Bumblebee's and honeybee's LOVE Cat Mint!! This is not Cat NIP...it's different, and while the cats like to lay by it, they don't eat it and get crazy. ALSO, this plant has lavender type flowers and blooms all summer, and it's not invasive (stays in clump form) like all the other mints. I'm in Washington State and it grow wild here.
