100 Smallspike False Nettle Seeds Shade Garden Native Wildflower

Smallspike False Nettle is a low-growing woodland perennial known for its attractive, nettle-like foliage and its value as a shade-tolerant ground cover. It forms soft, spreading colonies that fill in nicely under trees and along moist borders without the sting of true nettles.

The fresh green leaves provide a lush, textured look in woodland gardens, native plantings, and naturalized areas. It thrives in damp, humus-rich soil and partial to full shade, making it an easy choice for difficult low-light spots.
