I have purchased many plants online (some bare root) over the years. These were the healthiest, best packaged plants I have received. I potted them up and put them in shade for a couple days (as suggested) and they are looking wonderful. The yellow leaves from being in the dark/shipping have almost all greened up. I was fortunate that it has been rainy since I received them earlier this week. I am ready to plant them. I wish I could upload a photo to show you how healthy and full they are.

I’m in zone 8b, if I order plants now (November) should they go in the ground or in the greenhouse? I tried to start from seed last year but didn’t have any luck getting them to come up.

Hello Missy,
Thanks for sataying in touch. Wood Betony can be a bit challenging from seed sometimes. In the warmer zones including zone 8 it is typical to plant herbaceous perennials such as wood betony directly in the ground in the fall. That way, you get flowers come spring. Our wood betony plants are very robust and well-rooted, they will work well for you.

I received my order of Wood Betony last week and as I unwrapped my package was amazed the the care taken in how my plants were wrapped/packed to make their cross country journey to me in MA. Thank you Richo for sending such healthy plants! In comparing the quality of the plants I purchased from Strictly Medicinals, I was sorry I had bought some inferior medicinal herbs from my local Lowe’s. Strictly Medicinals Quality is SO superior, I will never buy plans from a large box store again.
