Blue vervain is a beautiful and useful medicinal herb. It's an excellent remedy for folks who are overworked, stressed, and burnt out. It's relaxing to both the mind and body. Also used for indigestion, colds, and flus. The flowers and leaves are the parts used medicinally. Read more on vervain's medicinal qualities here.
Vervain has an ancient history of magical use by the Druids. It was included in pharmacopeias by peoples in North Africa, the Middle East, and Mediterranean.
Blue vervain is native to North America and is hardy and easy to grow. Vervain prefers soil that is moist, and full to part sun.
The bright purple flowers and seed heads are long-lasting in the garden. Plants can grow over 6 feet tall in the right conditions.
Vervain will spread by rhizomes and self seed. If you're worried about spreading, grow in a pot or use a different rhizome barrier. To prevent self seeding, cut off flowers when they start to fade and before seeds mature and drop.
50% of sales from this variety go to Sovereign Seeds, an Indigenous-led initiative dedicated to the revitalization of Indigenous seed and food sovereignty in so-called Canada.
