Marsh Woundwort Plug Plants Stachys palustris

Common names include marsh woundwort, hedge nettle, and clown’s woundwort.

A striking perennial native wildflower that brings height, colour, and wildlife interest to damp meadows, pond margins, and wetland edges. Marsh woundwort produces tall spikes of rich purple-pink flowers from June to September, making it a valuable late-season nectar source for bumblebees, hoverflies, and other pollinators.

Historically valued for its medicinal properties, marsh woundwort was once used in traditional remedies for wounds and skin ailments. It thrives in moist or seasonally wet soils and is well suited to naturalistic planting schemes and wildlife gardens where it can spread to form attractive colonies.

Our strong, healthy plug plants are grown in 40cc cell trays and are ready to be planted out into their final position.

Sourced from native UK seed and grown locally, these plugs are ideal for establishing this wildlife-friendly species in gardens, meadows, or wetland areas.

We recommend planting 5-7 plugs per square metre in groups of 3 or more for a naturalistic effect.
