Frogs and Toads Container Gardener Cat Lover Plant Lover: Loves 'em all! The WITWIT Badge Winter Sowing
I intend to grow a lot of that, Catmint, but so far in this garden I have been thwarted. If I have to order plants, though, I will! However, I believe the seeds I got are not viable. I'm going to test germinate a few, and see. I have grown it from seed and will probably order more seed from elsewhere for my winter sowing.

I didn't mention my creeping jenny! It's not great for foot traffic but in places where that's not an issue I expect to use some of it.

Sadly, however, I was unaware of the neonicitinoid issue when I bought most of these. Some are from a supplier named "Steppables" who are entirely growing and selling groundcovers that can be walked on and supplying garden centers with them. They only sell by the flat. I don't know what they use, just that they are growing many types of groundcovers that can take foot traffic, shade lovers as well as sun lovers, for the expanding market who want to replace lawn grass! Of course, none of these need ever be mowed, which is a plus for many.
