Garden Lover answers:

I don’t shop at Walmart, I prefer more local ownership – I find my seeds and plants at my local nursery. You can also try Lowe’s and Home Depot. Grocery stores and hardware stores often have seed racks. And, of course, you can always try the online seed catalogs such as: http://www.burpee.com/herbs/.

Garden Lover answers:

Just web search (like google) on the latin name of the seed in quotations, like “nepeta cataria” you’ll find many shops pop up and once you find a good one, stick with it.

Also, try your local nurseries.

If you can’t find anything in Houston, you could probably find someone who can mail you the seeds and give you email advice. Or, you can call your county extenstion as ask if they know of a reputable local seed place.
