Do all varieties of motherwort require lots of water and part shade? I have hot sun and little water in Colorado.

Hi Lila,
I think that official motherwort, with its wider and softer leaves, does better with plenty of water and shade. It will go full sun, though. The Siberian Motherwort (Leonurus sibericus) is probably the most drought and elevation-tolerant of them all. That would be my choice for your area. richo

Hello Lila,
Thanks for contacting. Yes, because if you look at how the mother plant drops its seeds in the fall, then they overwinter and germinate in the spring, and since the seeds germinate readily and there is no requirement for vernalization, then you just go ahead and plant them outside and they will come up. barely cover, tamp, and make sure they don’t dry out before germination. richo
