Alehoof / Field Balm / Ground Ivy   |  Glechoma henderacea    |  Labiatae

 

Mature plant

Alehoof is an amazing groundcover that beautifies the garden with it's thatched growth habit and is just as happy in a pot or a hanging pot.

Alehoof is a traditional blood cleanser and tonic that is well indicated for those suffering from kidney stones or gastritis.

We use a poultice of the leaves to reduce bruising as well.

The young leaves are a salad green and can be brewed to make 'Gill Tea' It loves full sun if it not dry out but partial shade best otherwise.
