Selfheal Prunella vulgaris
Common names include, heal-all, carpenter's herb or brownwort.
Selfheal is a hardy native perennial wildflower that thrives in a variety of conditions including sun or partial shade. A low-growing, creeping plant, with clusters of violet flowers from June through to October, it can be found in grasslands and in the short grass of roadside verges or lawns. Selfheal works well as ground cover, or in borders, or meadows.
Sow in spring from March to May, or in autumn from August to October.
