Motherwort
Leonurus cardiaca
Motherwort is a hardy, fast-growing perennial herb that thrives in full sun to partial shade with minimal care once established in average garden soil. Water regularly during the first season, then reduce watering as it becomes drought tolerant in well-drained conditions. It is prized by herbalists for its traditional medicinal uses and by gardeners for its tall spikes of pink-purple flowers that attract pollinators.
