Leonurus cardiaca / Motherwort

Named for its medicinal uses for feminine care, motherwort is a common feature in traditional European medicine where it is also used as a nervine. This member of the mint family has subtle, purple flowers that bloom along the stem in late summer. Give motherwort some space or plant it with other tough plants as it likes to naturalize by spreading via its roots. Grows best in part shade and average soil and will reach 2-4 feet tall.
