This is very interesting I recently saw a picture of this and this week I found a patch of it in my yard. It is in bloom. I live close to Tacoma, WA. I am very excited.
I have seeds for this self heal! I am into medicinal herbs holistic health. Didn’t know exactly what all it’s value is. Very nice thank you for sharing! Wendy❤️🐞🐝
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!
I sure would love to learn herbs and herbal remedies and uses from you versus all these gimmicky people out there today. Do you have a blog that you teach through?
Beautiful, thank you for sharing ❤️💗❤️ Can't wait to see if I can find it in my weedy yard. ... SENDING A BRIGHT WHITE LIGHT OF LOVE TO SURROUND THE UNIVERSE 🤗💞💖🤗 AND EVERYONE 🤗❣️❣️🤗
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
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?
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!
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.
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.😉💗
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.
Aloha from Hawaii! Im trying to find some self heal seeds but I canʻt locate any. Is there any source you know that sells the seed? I cant find it in Hawaii.
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!💕💐
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.
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! :-)
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.
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, this is blooming in my inland northwest yard right now.
Great! That was good timing on my part then.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this video and listening to the rooster!! Thank you!!!!!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I harvested a whole bunch of this on my place! It’s beautiful and useful. Hoping to get seeds too
Best of luck!
Ireland. It grows wild in our forests. I grow it in my garden. It's coming up and plan to nourish it. Powerful herb

Glad to be of help!
I subscribed because you show the herb close up!
Don't know if we have these in SW MO. Will have to go for a walk and find out. I could listen to you talk for hours on end!!
Thank you!
Love the video. I too am in South Georgia. I recently became interested in this plant. I want to grow in my yard.
Gorgeous pictures
I found youf channel looking for how to identify this plant
wow
what a Blessing! Thank you

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.
Wow what healthy looking specimens you have there.
I sure would love to learn herbs and herbal remedies and uses from you versus all these gimmicky people out there today. Do you have a blog that you teach through?

Thanks so much
Thank You very interesting and informative. I'll have to look for some it find some seeds. God Bless and Peace Be With You
I'm glad you found it interesting.
Love this stuff!!!
Beautiful flower
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.
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 Thanks! I'm converting my front yard into an herb garden and wan to include some self heal. I love your videos!

Gramma Rose's Homestead thank you so much for the advice. I will try because I know my husband will just mow them down!
Very interesting! Would chickens like to eat this????
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.
Thanks for the info,I've only come across this in my garden recently 🙏 I'm in Southern Ireland
Thanks
Can I buy seeds for this plant or do I need to find some growing and transplant them? Really enjoyed this vlog. Thank you for sharing.😀
Yes and yes. You can find both seeds and plants at this site. If you can find plants locally, all the better! strictlymedicinalseeds.com/
Thank you.😁
thank you good tips
You are welcome
Hey Grandma 🌹💐.
Rose. Happy Mothers day.
Our Woundwort blooming in Cumbria now. Ours is a lot more purple.
Love the rooster sounding off at 4:55

luckychicav I am curious, do you harvest your mint? I dry it and use it for tea, harvesting keeps it in check for me.
Aloha from Hawaii! Im trying to find some self heal seeds but I canʻt locate any. Is there any source you know that sells the seed? I cant find it in Hawaii.

@@GrammaRosesHomestead , Mahalo (Thank you)
I read on the net, that Hawaii considers it an invasive plant, maybe, that's why?
I see these all over the place
Where are your location? State u are in

Gramma Rose's Homestead probably should have!💐😂
I pray daily for a spirit that is gentle
The deer eat the flowers before I can get to them 😅
In my driveway it is only a couple inches high.
Native Americans used this as a remedy for smallpox ( im part native )
I think what they used for smallpox was Prunella Purpurea
Are you making videos in 2022?
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! :-)
I think these flowers are orchids.
Which text are you reading from?
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.
Does Prunella grandiflora or Prunella pagoda have the same medicinal qualities as Prunella vulgaris???
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.).

I don't know if it looks like an orchid but it definitely sounds like a rooster haha.
