Richo Cech –
Hello there,
OH yes, the blooms are actually very nice as cut flowers. They do get kinda prickly as they mature, though.

I live in Central San Antonio, Central-South Texas. Right on the libe between USDA zones 8a and 8b. It gets hot here, like 99-105° for about three months out of the year. Is this the best Motherwort choice for my area? Should I plant it in part shade?

Richo Cech –
Yes, the official type is most heat tolerant. Your intuition to go with moist shade is right on, i do see motherwort volunteering in woodland edges around here and it likes that. this is a truly great woman’s herb. r
