Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) Seeds (Organic)

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.
