This native hedge nettle variety prefers moist, partially shaded habitats such as woodland edges, stream banks, and sandy soils. Keep the soil evenly moist and provide partial shade for best results, especially in warmer climates. It is a low-fuss wildflower that rewards pollinators and adds texture to naturalized garden beds.
