Thriving in full sun and well-drained soil, this hardy perennial offers lasting beauty and fragrance with minimal care.

    Catmint Seeds - Blue

    Store owner replied: Hello Cindy J. Thank you for your review, and we appreciate your patience while it was being investigated! We are very sorry to hear that these seeds did not germinate, and we apologize for the delay in responding. Your inquiry came during the busiest part of our spring season, which unfortunately resulted in longer response times than normal. After receiving reports like yours, we retested this seed and worked closely with our supplier. Based on the results, we've removed this variety from our website while we source replacement seed from a new supplier that meets our quality standards. We are glad we were able to provide a resolution, as we always stand by our products. Thank you for your patience and for bringing this issue to our attention. Feedback like yours helps us continue improving and ensures we're providing the highest quality products for our gardeners!
