🌸 Wildflower & Wildlife Plant
Selfheal is a native British wildflower that grows naturally in grassland, lawns, woodland edges and other relatively short vegetation.
Its purple flowers provide nectar for visiting bees and other pollinating insects, while its low-growing habit makes it particularly useful in more natural lawns.
Ideal For
🌱 Planting & Care
Remove the plants from their packaging as soon as they arrive and allow them to breathe. Soak the roots in water before planting.
Plant directly into ordinary garden soil, firm gently around the roots and water thoroughly. Keep watered as necessary while the plants become established.
Our Selfheal grows naturally in the chalk, clay and stony soils found across our land. Rich shop-bought compost is unnecessary; ordinary garden soil is generally a better match for the conditions in which our plants have been growing.
Selfheal is hardy and perennial. Its appearance varies with the season and plants may become dormant or die back during colder periods before producing fresh growth again.
🌿 Selfheal & Traditional Herbal Use
The names Selfheal and Heal-All reflect this plant's long association with traditional herbal practices and folklore. Prunella vulgaris has been known and gathered as a traditional herb for centuries.
We sell our Selfheal as a living botanical and wildflower plant and make no claims regarding the prevention, treatment or cure of medical conditions.
Please Note
Leaves, flowers or stems may wilt or become damaged during transportation. This is normal with freshly lifted wild plants. Damaged top growth can be trimmed back and healthy established roots should produce new growth after planting.
