Selfheal is a low-growing perennial wildflower that is often found creeping across grassland and lawns. Appearing from June to October with clusters of violet 5-petaled flowers it provides a nectar source for bees and wasps. In the garden, selfheal is ideal for an area of wildflower lawn or positioned at the front of a border with other low-growing wildflowers such as cowslip, bird’s-foot trefoil, and buttercup, to attract pollinators. It self-seeds easily so deadhead to keep it from spreading.

100% native selfheal wildflower seed grown and harvested in Kent.
