A Gardeners Forum Forums Gardening Reference Gardening in 2004 Catnip

I was at a friend's house, and saw some stuff she had growing in a container. I asked her what it was, and she said it was catnip. Her catnip doesn't look like my catnip. Mine is all green, and looks exactly like pictures I have found online. Her's had a white border around the leaves, and the leaves were much smaller than mine. The flower on the top of hers looked like a catnip flower, but the plant itself was only about 6" high. Does catnip flower when it is that small??
Anyway, my question is, is her stuff really catnip??

Can you start smooshing???

LOL! I can't smoosh any of hers, but mine looks exactly like this:

and hers looks like that too, only it is way smaller and already has flowers at the tips, and it has a whitish border around the edge of the plant. Maybe hers is CatMINT? Or is catnip and catmint the same thing??
