Gipsywort        Lycopus europaeus                  Labiatae

 

Full flower

 

Gipsywort is an attractive, foliage plant with small white understated flowers that will grow low and act almost as a groundcover if planted under trees in shade.

 

If it is allowed full sun it can reach to over one metre in height making a rather bold statement in the garden.

 

It is an herbaceous perennial. We use the aerial parts, especially when in flower, as a nerve tonic as it has a fast sedative effect, especially in cases of high anxiety.

 

 

Potted Plant or rootstock, depending on time of year. $4.00
