Self Heal (Prunella vulgaris) is a flowering plant that is also known by the names Common Self-Heal, Xia Ku Cao, All Heal, Woundwort, Heart-of-the-Earth, Blue Curls, and Carpenter’s Herb. It is commonly called Self Heal because the botanist Nicolas Culpeper wrote, “when you are hurt, you may heal yourself” in the 17th century. The plant can grow up to 12 inches tall and possesses purple, tubular flowers that grow in a club-like cluster. It grows best in temperate climates and can be found in North America, Europe, and Asia.
Since stored seed is more difficult to germinate, direct sowing seeds in autumn brings the most success. However, due to the ease of growing, sowing seed in spring will usually also meet with success. Plant directly into prepared bed, covering with 1/4 inch of fine soil. Pat gently, then water well with a fine mist.
