Common gromwell is a hardy perennial herb that grows well in average, well-drained soils in sun to partial shade with very little intervention needed. Water periodically during dry spells but avoid consistently wet conditions, as it is tolerant of moderate drought once established. It has a long history of medicinal use and produces small white flowers that attract pollinators in early summer.
