The plant
Origin: France
Its name evokes the Nepeta family, well known for attracting felines, but this variety is distinguished by a lemon aroma, bringing a fresh and invigorating note. Like yarrow, lemon catnip is a perennial plant, appreciated for its many properties. Its elongated and slightly toothed leaves release, when crushed, a characteristic scent reminiscent of lemongrass. Its flowers, often white or purplish, bloom throughout the summer.
Lemon catnip is traditionally used in herbalism for its soothing effects. When distilled, its leaves and flowering tops reveal a complex essential oil, rich in citronellol and geraniol, components known for their calming and insect-repellent properties. Although its essential oil is not abundant, its hydrosol is particularly prized for its uses in aromatherapy, promoting relaxation and well-being. Distillation, carried out in the heart of summer, is a delicate practice, each batch of lemon catnip being unique in quality and aroma.
