Hairy hedgenettle is a low-maintenance native perennial that performs best in moist, partially shaded spots such as woodland gardens or stream banks. It tolerates a range of soil types as long as consistent moisture is maintained. Cut back stems after flowering to encourage a tidy habit and potential rebloom.
