I have an unnamed bargin center painted daisy and they are much sturdier 
than any daisies I have and have never needed staking.

Catnip and Catmint are apparently slightly different from each other.
I've never had cats bother my Catmints, but they will romp/chomp/eat the 
Catnip in my yard if I've disturbed it (it's a weed for me, I've never 
planted it, but there is. And there, and over there...).  Catnip is nepeta 
cataria, the catmints are like Nepeta mussinii & Nepeta faasinii.
