Horehound - Marrubium vulgare
200 Seeds
Sow Spring
Hardy perennial.
Height 45cm (18in), spread 30cm (12in).
Prefers a deep, sandy, well-drained soil in a sunny position but protect from the wind.
Sow the seeds 3 weeks before the last frost date. Horehound takes a long time to germinate, so you will need to plant it early in the spring. Sow the seeds about 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) deep. Horehound germinates best if it’s planted at a very shallow depth. Plant the seeds 1⁄4 inch (0.64 cm) deep or scatter them directly over the ground and cover them with a thin layer of soil
Small white clusters appear from midsummer to early autumn from the second year. The aromatic heart-shaped leaves are wrinkled and green, rough on top with an underside of a white woolly texture. The stem is downy, square, white and branching. Attractive to bees.
