Also called Bishopswort, Purple Betony, Common Hedgenettle, Woundwort, Wood Betony, and previously known as Stachys Officinalis, this pretty little wildflower is a slow growing, long-lived perennial plant. Betony seeds can be started directly outdoors in late summer, fall or early spring, and Stachys Officinalis grows forming a very attractive mat of clumping foliage with basal rosettes of ovate, glossy, dark green leaves and producing dense spikes of tiny, rose-lavender flowers on a top of tall leafless flowering stems that rise well above the foliage mat. The various pollinators including bees and butterflies are attracted to blooming Purple Betony.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003eBetony is a popular groundcover or edging plant, and it is often planted in cottage gardens and informal naturalized areas. As a herb Wood Betony was at one time commonly used as a medicinal plant in the treatment of a wide range of disorders including an external application to wounds and as a stimulator of digestive system. Betonica Officinalis seeds can be started indoors in pots from October to February, and when the seedling reaches 3 inches, it can be transplanted outdoors in spring. Wood Betony grows best in average, moist well drained  soil and full sun or partial shade tolerating poor soil conditions including clay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePLANT PROFILE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeason: Perennial\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHeight: 12-24 Inches\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBloom Season: Summer\/Fall\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEnvironment: Sun\/Partial Shade\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSoil Type: Average\/Moist well-drained\u003cbr\u003eUSDA Zones: 4-8\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: justify;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"\u003ePLANTING INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow Indoors: Fall\/Winter (October-February)\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSow Outdoors: Late Summer\/Fall\/Early Spring\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSeed Depth: 1\/16 Inch\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGermination Time: Germination irregular over several months\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/6163\/2565\/files\/Non-GMO_large.jpg?v=1532283657\" alt=\"\" style=\"display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"OVM Seeds","offers":[{"title":"20 Seeds","offer_id":13267696877621,"sku":"BETONICA20","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":13267696910389,"sku":"BETONICA100","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"200 Seeds","offer_id":31724313051222,"sku":"BETONICA200","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2,000 Seeds","offer_id":31724321112150,"sku":"BETONICA2000","price":99.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0016\/6163\/2565\/files\/Betony_Betonica_Officinalis_Seeds.webp?v=1782529176","url":"https:\/\/ovmseeds.com\/products\/betony-non-gmo-bulk-seeds-betonica-officinalis","provider":"ovmseeds","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
