(Prunella vulgaris) Whether you’re looking to add beauty to your garden, attract pollinators, or have a readily available heirloom medicinal herb, Heal-All, or Self-Heal, is an excellent choice. Perfect for meadow gardens or as a ground cover for shady areas, forming dense, lush green mats and being incredibly easy to grow, making it ideal for beginner gardeners. This native plant, with its beautiful blue-violet flowers, is not only a delight to the eyes but also a valuable resource for bees, which flock to its nectar-rich blooms.


This semi-evergreen perennial thrives in moist shade but also tolerates sun and drought once established, requiring minimal aftercare and resisting deer and rabbits.


Growing up to 12-24 inches tall and spreading 6-9 inches wide, Prunella vulgaris adapts well to various soil types and conditions. It flourishes in grasslands, meadows, and even lawns, making it a versatile addition to any garden. Whether planted under trees or in open spaces, this hardy herb will thrive, offering both aesthetic appeal and practical benefits for any home gardener.

~ sowing ~


Before planting Prunella vulgaris (self-heal) seeds, it is crucial to understand the ideal conditions for optimal growth:


Stratification:

To improve germination rates, stratify the seeds by placing them in a damp paper towel, sealing them in a plastic bag, and refrigerating them for 2-4 weeks.


Starting Seeds Indoors:


Timing:

Start seeds indoors about 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost date in your area.


Containers:

Use seed trays or small pots filled with a light, well-draining potting mix.


Sowing:

Sprinkle the seeds on the surface of the soil and lightly press them in. Do not cover the seeds, as they need light to germinate.


Watering:

Mist the soil gently to moisten it, ensuring it's consistently moist but not waterlogged.


Light and Temperature:

Place the seed trays in a bright location with temperatures around 65-70°F (18-21°C). Use a grow light if necessary.


Germination:

Seeds should germinate within 2-4 weeks. Keep the soil consistently moist during this period.


Transplanting Seedlings Outdoors


Timing:

Once the seedlings have developed a few sets of true leaves and the risk of frost has passed, they can be transplanted outdoors.


Location:

Choose a spot in your garden with well-draining soil and partial to full sun.


Spacing:

Space the plants about 12-18 inches apart to allow for proper growth.


Transplanting:

Dig holes large enough to accommodate the root balls of your seedlings. Gently remove the seedlings from their containers, taking care not to damage the roots, and transplant them into the garden. Water well after planting.


Caring for Prunella vulgaris Plants


Watering:

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Water the plants deeply once or twice a week, depending on the weather and soil conditions.


Fertilizing:

Prunella vulgaris doesn’t require heavy feeding. A light application of compost or a balanced organic fertilizer in the spring should be sufficient to support its growth.


Mulching:

Apply a layer of mulch around the plants to help retain moisture and suppress weeds.


Pest and Disease Management:

Prunella vulgaris is generally pest-resistant, but it’s still important to monitor for common garden pests like aphids and caterpillars. If you notice any pests, treat them with insecticidal soap or neem oil. Ensure good air circulation around the plants to prevent fungal diseases.


Maintenance:

Prunella vulgaris can be mowed or trimmed back after flowering to encourage new growth and maintain a tidy appearance.


Harvesting Prunella vulgaris


When to Harvest:

The best time to harvest is when the plant is in full bloom, usually from late spring to early summer.


How to Harvest:

Use sharp scissors or pruning shears to cut the stems just above a set of leaves. This will encourage the plant to produce more growth. Avoid cutting more than one-third of the plant at a time to ensure it remains healthy.


Drying and Storing:

Spread the harvested stems on a clean, dry surface in a well-ventilated area, away from direct sunlight. Allow them to dry completely, which can take several days to a week. Once dried, strip the leaves and flowers from the stems and store them in an airtight container in a cool, dark place.


~ seed saving ~


The flower spike will turn brown and dry while the seeds begin to form. Watch the plant carefully, since the seeds will soon blow away with the wind. Shake the ripe brown heads over a container to remove the seed. Store the heal all seeds in a cool, dry place.


Edible Uses:


Leaves are edible raw or cooked. Wash well first to remove some of the bitter tannins in the leaves. They can be used in salads for a little extra bite. Good in casseroles, soups and stews. An interesting tea can be produced from fresh or dried leaves making a refreshing beverage. The leaves are at their best when harvested in mid-summer.


Other Uses:

An olive green dye is obtained from the stems and flowers.


Forage for Pollinators:

Prunella vulgaris produces nectar very freely and is pollinated by bees. It is very attractive to Honeybees and Bumblebees, and probably Solitary bees.


Origin:

Prunella vulgaris is a perennial plant native to Europe but can also be found growing in parts of Asia and the Unites States. In open and exposed situations, the plant is diminutive, while in more sheltered spots it is larger in all its parts. Habitats include moist to mesic black soil prairies, alongside rivers and lakes, meadows, thickets, forest openings, woodland borders, pastures, and abandoned fields.


In addition to being very well known as Self Heal, Prunella vulgaris has many other common and local names:


Square stem, Thimble flower, Sickle-heal, Sicklewort, Slough-heal, Hookweed, Panay, Proud carpenter, Herb carpenter, Hercules' all-heal, Hook-heal, Carpenter's herb, Heart of the earth, Brunel, Caravaun bog, Carpenter grass, Blue curls, Brownwort, Heal-all, All-heal, Bumble-bees, Herb, Fly Flowers, Heart of the Earth, Hook-heal, London Bottles, Pick Pocket, Pimpernel, Prince's Feather.

Great Tray For Storing My Everyday Carries
Size: 8.5" x 5.8" x 1.9", Color: Black
My everyday carry items (wallet, keys, etc.), used to just get thrown around wherever when I'd get home, but this little tray makes a great, defined, space for me to keep those things when I don't need them on me. The soft lining reduces the obnoxious sound of throwing keys on a hard surface, and of course keeps me from scratching up a surface. The build feels quality and I haven't seen any damage to it yet. Also the all black version with gold buckle looks quite good and adds a subtle touch of luxury. Absolute recommend for the price.
