Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) Seeds (Organic)
Beautiful Creeper
Self Heal seeds are a great choice for gardeners looking to cultivate a creeping, evergreen ground cover that supports pollinators and improves soil stability. Native to Europe and hardy to USDA Zones 3–9, Prunella vulgaris thrives in moist garden beds or wayside soils in partial shade to full sun. Its spreading habit makes it a reliable companion plant and a low-maintenance addition to perennial herb gardens, wildflower lawns, and pollinator strips.
In the spring, sow seeds in pots or directly into garden soil. Barely cover the seed, keep evenly moist, and maintain cool, damp conditions for best germination. Germination typically takes 1 to 3 weeks. Once seedlings are established, transplant them 6 inches apart. Self Heal enjoys frequent watering and will grow vigorously with good grass cohabitation. Plants reach 6 to 8 inches in height and bloom with attractive purple flowers from early to mid-summer.
This resilient herb is ideal for those interested in ecological plantings, herbal lawns, or low-growing ground covers that serve both aesthetic and functional roles in the garden.

Planting & Care
Planting & Care
Soil & Water: The plant prefers full sun to shade and moist soils. If you bump them up with organic compost, they can be prolific and stunning.
Planting & Growing: Sow seed in early spring or cold-condition in moist medium in the refrigerator (not the freezer) for a week or two before sowing in warm soil. Really a very easy plant to start and to grow. Thin or transplant to 6" apart.
Harvesting & Storage: The entire plant is active, but the flowers are most useful and should be picked right before bloom opens. Pick at full flowering glory and dry in the shade.
