  • Question

    Just wondering whether this is a native or not. it sure was popular with the bees! we used to call it agrimony, but not sure if that is correct.

    Answer

    Dear ho2cultcha, your plant is Leonurus cardiaca (motherwort), a non-native mint. It is not an invasive plant, but is capable of naturalizing to open areas and trail edges. Best wishes.
