Hedge-nettle
Stachys palustris
Hedge-nettle thrives in moist to wet soils in garden borders, rain gardens, or near water features with partial to full sun. It requires consistent moisture and will spread gradually by rhizomes, so divide clumps every few years to keep it in check. This hardy native perennial is very low maintenance once established in an appropriate site.
