Prunella grandiflora 'Bella Blue'

 

Large-flowered selfheal

Self-heals are low-growing plants, and thrive in moist wasteland and grass. It is a spreading perennial having mid-green foliage producing an abundance of attractive pink, blue, purple or white flowers. These are tubular with an upright upper lip and spreading lower lip. They are hardy and easy to grow in any soil. They are members of the mint family and have the square stem common to mints. 'Bella Blue' produces masses of violet-blue flowers from early to late summer, in dense mats of light-green leaves. Excellent as a groundcover, along pathways and in mixed containers. Attractive to butterflies. Divide clumps in spring or autumn.

Planting young plants

From Early Spring TO Early Spring

Plant in early spring in any garden soil in sun or in partial shade. Avoid planting in rich soil which will encourage excessive leaf growth. Divide plants in autumn or during early spring.
