A fragrant plant with purple or pink flowers, closely related to catnip, that cats enjoy and people use in gardens and herbal remedies.
From cat + mint, directly naming the plant for cats' attraction to it and its minty characteristics. The word has been used since at least the 1500s.
Catmint is often confused with catnip, but it's actually a different plant—yet cats love it equally, making it a fantastic plant for cat owners who want a lush, purple-flowering garden that doubles as feline entertainment.
