Perennial yellow-woundwort is a tough, low-maintenance herbaceous perennial that thrives in sunny, well-drained positions including rocky or poor soils. It produces whorls of pale yellow flowers attractive to bees and butterflies throughout summer and requires very little watering once established. Historically used in traditional herbal medicine, it makes an excellent addition to wildlife and herb gardens.
