Heal-all, Self-Heal (Prunella vulgaris) North American medicinal herb!! 3.5" Potted Plant!

PLEASE SEE WESTERN STATE SHIPPING RESTRICTIONS BELOW DESCRIPTION PRIOR TO ORDERING!

As the common name indicates, Heal-all, herbalists and indigenous peoples have been using this incredible herb for hundreds, probably thousands, of years, although you will have to seek out other sources for how it was used medicinally. I know it as a garden plant grown for its ornamental qualities and wildlife benefits.

Heal-all is easy to grow and found in every state in the U.S. except Hawaii as well as across Canada. (USDA Hardiness Zone 2-12) That tells you just how tough and adaptable this plant really is! Full sun to shade, adapts to just about any soil, and as its in the mint family, it will spread itself around, usually by seed, which is a bit unusual for mint relatives. Deadheading (removing) the blooms when done can help keep it in check. Regardless, I'm completely charmed by this little beauty and you will be, too!

Prunella vulgaris has many common names including Heart-of-the-earth which I find endearing. 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." 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.

It typically only grows to around a foot in height and and width, but your mileage may vary! The purple blooms are beloved by bees and can last for many weeks.

This offer is for one Prunella vulgaris (Heal-all) plant in a 3.5" pot.
