Official Motherwort Seeds (Organic)

Useful Flower Tops

For those wondering how to grow motherwort from seeds, the process is simple. Start seeds indoors in early spring or direct sow in a well-drained, partially shaded area after the last frost. Germination can be slow, so a period of cold stratification—storing seeds in a moist, cold environment for a few weeks—can improve success rates. Once seedlings emerge, space them about 12 inches apart to allow for vigorous growth. Thriving in various soil types, motherwort flourishes with moderate watering and occasional pruning. As a self-seeding perennial, it will return year after year, providing a continuous supply of fresh leaves for herbal use.
