HOW TO GROW

Sowing: Direct sow in late fall, planting just below the surface of the soil. For spring planting, mix the heal all seeds with moist sand and store in the refrigerator for 30 days before planting. Keep the soil lightly moist until germination, which should occur within 2-3 weeks. The Prunella Vulgaris seed can also be started indoors 8-10 weeks before planting in the spring.

Growing: Water seedlings regularly until they become established, and control weeds. Mature plants tolerate occasional drought, though they prefer consistently moist soil and will benefit from watering in dry weather. This plant can spread vigorously once established; to help prevent this, cut the plant back after blooming has finished. Regular deadheading will increase bloom. This plant attracts bees and butterflies, and also makes an excellent choice for containers, borders, or as a ground cover.

Harvesting: These blossoms do not perform well as cut flowers, and are best enjoyed outdoors.

Seed Saving: The flower spike will turn brown and dry while the seeds begin to form. Watch the plant carefully, since the seeds will soon blow away with the wind. Shake the ripe brown heads over a container to remove the seed. Store the heal all seeds in a cool, dry place.

DESCRIPTION

As its name suggests, herbalists have appreciated this native plant's healing properties for centuries. It is a pretty common sight in the wild, and the bees find value in it too. The pretty purple flower does not get very tall, but it is easy to grow.
In the 16th century, famed botanist and herbal expert John Gerard said of this plant that "there is not a better wounde herbe in the world." As the name suggests, this native plant has healing properties that herbalists have appreciated for centuries. The plant has been used both internally or externally, fresh and dried. Though not in current medical use, it is said to have antibacterial and detoxifying benefits. The genus name "Prunella" comes from the German word "brunella," a disorder of the mouth and throat that could be treated with this herb.
