$3.95
Family: Mint (Lamiaceae)
Hardy to Zones 4 to 9
(Gipsywort, Bugleweed) Rhizomatous herbaceous perennial native to Europe, flowering inconspicuously white to a height of 2 feet. Strangely and enticingly aromatic. Traditional usage (TWM): thyroid malfunction. Of the several species available, we actually prefer this one as it gives a better yield. Plant prefers moist, poorly draining ground and full sun to part shade. Sow seed on surface and press in, then keep evenly moist and in the light until germination, which occurs in a week or two. Work plants up to a sufficient size before transplanting to landscape. These tend to dig in and spread when given plenty of water. Gravel mulch can be very helpful.

Mike –
How tall do these grow? And, medicinally, do you use the root of the leaf?

hi mike, thanks for wanting to know more about gypsywort. it is the dried leaf that is traditionally employed for making the tincture or tea. Much stronger when done with dried herb vs fresh. Flowers inconspicuously white to a height of 2 feet. richo
