50 Seeds Self Heal Prunella vulgaris Hardy Perennial Groundcover Flower

Self Heal, also known as Prunella vulgaris, is a low-growing perennial that forms dense mats of rounded green foliage and produces compact spikes of violet-blue flowers through summer. It is valued as a tough, adaptable groundcover for lawns, borders, wildflower areas, and pollinator-friendly plantings. Its creeping habit makes it useful for filling gaps, softening path edges, and adding seasonal color to informal or naturalistic garden spaces.
This plant performs well in moist, well-drained soils and tolerates a range of light conditions from full sun to partial shade. The flower spikes are attractive to bees and other pollinators, while the tidy foliage provides reliable groundcover through the growing season. It can be used in meadow plantings, cottage gardens, rock gardens, and container combinations. Space plants to allow for spread, and keep soil consistently moist during establishment for best results.
