Catnip
In addition to pleasing your cats, catnip can also be used by humans as a mild sedative. It makes a warm, minty tea that is used to induce sleep and said to relieve cold symptoms. Also, being related to mint, grows mint-like flowers late Summer and into early Fall.
Seeing how this plant can be popular with the stray cats, I use a small cage to ensure it cannot be smooshed. Animals that want some (and us humans) can take from above the cage. It'll just keep coming back, just as mint does.
