catmint

Aromatic perennial plant

Catmint is a plant in the mint family with grayish-green leaves and small lavender flowers, grown in gardens for its aromatic foliage and ability to attract cats.

Cats often roll in it, rub against it, or eat it, responding to the same compound found in catnip.

The terms catmint and catnip overlap, though catmint sometimes refers specifically to ornamental garden varieties.
