Hemp-nettle
Galeopsis ladanum
Hemp-nettle is a robust European wildflower that prefers moderately fertile, well-drained soil in a sunny to partially shaded border or wildflower garden. Water regularly during dry spells but avoid waterlogging, as it is sensitive to soggy roots. It is relatively low-maintenance once established and valued for attracting bees and other pollinators.
