10 Seeds Prunella vulgaris lanceolata Lanceleaf Self Heal Herb
These seeds will grow into Lanceleaf Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris lanceolata), a hardy herbaceous perennial known for its low-growing habit and attractive spikes of violet-purple flowers. It adds a natural, cottage-garden charm to borders, meadows, and woodland edges, while also serving as a beneficial ground cover in partial shade areas. The lance-shaped foliage forms a neat, dense mat that is both visually appealing and easy to manage in most garden settings.
Ornamentally, this plant provides long-lasting color from late spring through summer and attracts pollinators. Culinarily, the young leaves can be used fresh in salads or brewed as a mild tea. It grows well in moist, well-drained soil and can tolerate some dryness once established. Use it for edging, in wildflower patches, or as a filler between larger perennials. This variety spreads moderately by seed and root, making it a good choice for naturalized areas without being overly aggressive.
