Looks like catnip to me. Also looks like Lemon Balm-I have just found out there is a lemon-scented catnip. Sounds weird to me, cause cats don't usually like citrus. |

http://www.io.com/~wilsone/citrusscents.htm Lemon Catnip Nepeta cataria 'Citriodora' Family Lamiaceae Lemon scented catnip is a wonderful version of the common catnip that felines adore. The lemon form makes a wonderful tea. Because it is less attractive to cat guests it can be used more reliably as a landscape plant in areas where felines roam free. It has soft grayish foliage and white stalks of flowers. The plants grow from 1-3 ft tall and do best with afternoon shade and regular watering. Lemon catnip is easily grown from seed, cuttings or root divisions. It seems to have a more mannerly form of growth than common catnip. |
