Wendy, It was catnip. I must’ve had it in that pot the previous summer. I remember trying it and I remember my cat ignoring it, even though he responds to dried catnip. He ignored it again this summer, so it’s a waste. I’ve been trying to gift it to a friend’s cat. Cat grass appears to be my cat’s snack of choice

I also think it’s catnip – or it looks exactly like the catnip my daughter planted last year! Our catnip has come back, but I don’t think I’ve seen the flower spike. That’s from the same plant?? It took a while for our cat to find the catnip, but we do catch her going to it from time to time – then catch her zipping across the yard back and forth at full speed.

Dawn,
My cat is all about the grass. That he loves. He likes the dried catnip, but doesn’t go near the plant, so it leaves me in a quandary over what to do with this pot…

Your cat ignores catnip?! I’m impressed, even for a cat that’s taking feline disdain to a whole new level…

The lacy-edged leaves, if not catmint are something in the mint family for sure. The other plant is definitely something weedy – I see it a lot but don’t know it’s name.
