Hi KM,
Thanks for writing! If you click on the main photo it brings up the monographs so you can compare and contrast. Siberian Motherwort is annual or biennial–cardiaca is perennial. Mainly practitioners of oriental medicine are going to want to use the chinese types, while western herbalists will prefer the european. All of them are “good for mother.” Richo
