Stachys?palustris | Marsh woundwort | Marginal Plant
- Marginal Plant - submerge slightly
- Plant in sun or partial shade in wet soil or water
- A bright and versatile accent plant
- Low maintenance and beneficial to wildlife
Marsh Woundwort has upright stems clothed in lance-shaped, softly hairy, green leaves. The plant emits a slightly pungent, though not unpleasant, aroma when the foliage is bruised.
From mid-summer to early autumn, it produces dense whorls of attractive, two-lipped, pinkish-purple flowers. These are a magnet for bees, butterflies, and other nectar-seeking insects, making it a superb wildlife plant.
Historically used for its medicinal properties (hence 'woundwort'), it is a hardy perennial that is generally low maintenance. It can spread by rhizomes to form good-sized patches.
Prefers full sun to partial shade in moist to wet soil, making it ideal for pond edges, bog gardens, damp meadows, and ditches. Tolerates a range of soil types.
