Prunella vulgaris, aka Self-Heal, is a herb, originally native to the Americas and Eurasia, that has become naturalized on almost every continent. It grows so easily that it's considered invasive in some places such as New Zealand and other Pacific islands. Invasiveness is not a good thing, but if one could choose a plant to grow extraordinarily well, this one would be it. It's a magnificent medicinal herb.

Blooming right now in New England. Grows everywhere here! In the lawn, edge of woods, my shade garden path. grows in a big round circle in path - lovely plant. I let it grow everywhere unlike creeping charlie which chokes out everything in my gardens - constantly pulling that!

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

I know what you mean by creeping charlie. I've battled that before! This is a lovely plant and I'd grow it simply for its beauty.

Newbie here. Just sooo grateful to have found your channel. I have so much admiration for how you have lived your life, I just watched your 31 things about me video. Your information is stellar, sure would like to know more about your spinning hobby. It’s my dream. Sure wish I could do a redo on my life!😂 Just wanted to say thanks. Btw I’m on husband 5, I’m a boomer also!💕💐

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

Welcome!! One of these days I'll do a spinning video. There are a lot of people around who are much more skilled at it than I am, but it is so meditative. Very relaxing. Husband #5. That proves you don't give up on love.

@paulinefaircloth1873 2 года назад

Which text are you reading from?

@GrammaRosesHomestead 2 года назад

I can't say for certain since this video is almost 2 years old and I usually make notes from several different sources, but my favorite two resources are "The Herb Book" by John Lust and the website Plants for a Future. Maybe I should start including a bibliography in the discussion box below the video.

@lesliemouriquand9467 4 года назад

I have self heal seeds that I want to start. I'm wondering what kind of soil yours are growing in, as they look so good.

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

The predominant soil around here is clay, but it's growing in my lawn which doesn't get raked after being mowed. So, there's probably a layer of compost-rich top soil where it's growing. However, I have seen them growing on the roadside, so it's probably not too picky. There's probably a website somewhere that has the soil requirements. pfaf.org is usually a good place to look

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

You know, I don't know for sure. My chickens free range and as you see in the video, the self-heal has survived. Now, if it was planted in their run, it probably would be eaten to the ground.

@sharonhuelsman 4 года назад

This is amazing! I was just out in my yard (near where I have mint growing) and I saw this lovely little low,growing plant that was just starting to bud. I had never noticed it before and as I was eating breakfast I was watching your video and this is the plant! Mine is low to the ground almost like a ground cover. Can I move it so we don't now over it?

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

Isn't that amazing! Now you know, moving plants when they're actively growing is a bad idea, but if they're not going to survive otherwise, you can chance it. Just dig a hole for it in advance so it can go immediately back in the ground and be sure not to skimp on the size of the rootball. You want to disturb the roots as little as possible. Be sure to keep it well-watered, but don't drown it, until it begins to show signs of growth indicating that it has established itself in its new location. Good luck!

@luckychicav7981 4 года назад

Hello Ms Rose, Interesting and great video. Would Self Heal be considered a bully in the garden like mint? Do the flowers hold the seeds when they dry? Thank you for sharing, much appreciated.😉💗

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

It is not a bully in my garden, but it is invasive in some parts of the world. It depends on where you live. To be honest, I can't remember if the plant holds on to the seeds or not. It's been a while since I collected seeds from it. I think it does, for otherwise, I would have seedlings coming up in my flower beds from scattered seeds, and I don't.

@luckychicav7981 4 года назад

Thank you for your response, much appreciated. Have yourself a Wonderful Weekend!😉

@lilolmecj 4 года назад

luckychicav I am curious, do you harvest your mint? I dry it and use it for tea, harvesting keeps it in check for me.

@wcdeich4 4 года назад

Does Prunella grandiflora or Prunella pagoda have the same medicinal qualities as Prunella vulgaris???

@GrammaRosesHomestead 4 года назад

To be honest, I don't know. However, I did look online and couldn't find any reputable source that said any species of Prunella other than vulgaris had medicinal properties. Two sites I trust, pfaf.org and naturalmedicinalherbs.net, did not show any medicinal benefits for Prunella grandiflora (Pagoda is a variety of P. grandiflora.). It's always possible that more recent scientific studies have been done and their databases are not up to date.

Thank you for videoing the self-heal plant so clearly! I found a lot of it in our front yard, but it was nice to see it on the video so clearly for confirmation that that's the same plant in our yard. I've watched several videos on this plant before I found yours. I subscribed! :-)
