This perennial herb is native to the United States and can be found throughout its territories. Its roots are perennial, producing square, upright stems that branch out and grow 2-3 feet tall. These stems have a soft, powdery coating and are covered in fine white hairs. The leaves are heart-shaped or oblong with pointed tips, measuring 1-2.5 inches long. They have a green top side and a grayish-green underside with white hairs. The plant's flowers grow on short stalks in clusters at the stem's tip, forming a dense spike-like arrangement. Blooming from June to September, they feature a white corolla with purple-dotted lips and lobes. A distinctive characteristic of this species is its calyx tube, which has 15 ribs – a trait shared by other members of the Nepeta genus.

The plant has a faint minty aroma with a bitter taste. Its distinctive scent is reminiscent of both Mint and Pennyroyal. Cats are particularly drawn to catnip and catmint due to their strong attraction to these plants, which is triggered by the release of oils when they're bruised or damaged.

In France, tarragon's leaves and young shoots are commonly used to flavor dishes, and it's often cultivated alongside other kitchen herbs. The plant has a long history of being valued for its medicinal properties in both France and here.

How to use:

Powdered Herb:

Powdered herbs can be used in a variety of ways.

You can add powdered herb to a variety of foods, such as smoothies, sauces, spreads, and baked goods like cookies. For children, mix the powder with honey or glycerin to create a paste that can be taken orally. The thicker the paste, the more potent it will be. This method is also known as "Electuaries", which uses sweeteners like honey and glycerin to make medicine more palatable.

By making your own herbal capsules at home, you can ensure that they contain only pure, unadulterated herb without additives. They can also be taken with a liquid.

A poultice can be created by mixing an herbal powder with a liquid, typically water, to form a paste that's applied directly to the skin. This approach is particularly beneficial for addressing various skin issues.

Mix powdered herbs with water, fruit juice, or another liquid to create a concentrated herbal drink.
