Rough Hedge nettle

Bugle hedgenettle is a low perennial growing from 2-3′.

Commonly found in shady dry places growing in the understory of our oak woodlands.

Both butterflies and hummingbirds will use the flowers for nectar, Checkerspot larvae will use the foliage for food. Use in a cool flower bed that gets some water. Mix with Yerba Buena, Lilies, or Heucheras to add interest to your garden.

Its roots form a dense mat that makes it useful for north or east slope planting.
