• Question

  I am looking to obtain some rhizomes of Stachys palustris. I live in Western NC in zone 6b. Do you or do you know of someone from whom I could purchase some Stachys palustris to plant on my herb farm? I have tried starting it from seed with no luck. We have Stachys sylvatica here in abundance in the wild but I would love some palustris. Thank you kindly, Meredith

  Answer

  Dear mamabearmer, good morning. Stachys palustris is a non-native species (originating in Europe). You may be interested in Stachys pilosa, our native element of this complex. That written, I do not know where you can obtain rhizomes. It is a beautiful species and I wish you success in locating them. Best wishes.
