Prunella vulgaris - Self-heal
This low creeping perennial is a member of
the mint family.
Self-heal grows in meadows, in hedgerows and in ditches, and is very
tolerant of poor soils. It will even persist in grass paths subject to frequent walking.
The first flowers appear in June, and in some sheltered
places self-heal
continues flowering until the first frosts of winter arrive.
