Prunella vulgaris ssp. lanceolata
Lance-leaved heal-all is a perennial groundcover that produces tubular purple flowers on erect stalks. Our native heal-all is taller with bigger flowers and longer leaves than the nonnative common heal-all (Prunella vulgaris var. vulgaris) which is more likely to grow in lawns and act weedy. It grows best in shade or part shade, but can handle sun as long as it doesn’t dry out. Purple flower heads attract bees and butterflies. Heal-all has medicinal properties.
