Self-Heal Seeds (Prunella vulgaris) from Survival Garden Seeds produce a resilient, low-growing perennial herb valued for its adaptability, ecological benefits, and long history of traditional medicinal use. Also known as Heal-All or All-Heal, this member of the mint family spreads by creeping stems and rhizomes, forming a dense groundcover topped with small blue-violet, tubular flowers.

Naturally found along woodland edges and in disturbed soils, Self-Heal thrives in a wide range of growing conditions. It adapts well to full sun or partial shade and tolerates poor soils where other plants struggle. Once established, it withstands mowing and light foot traffic, making it a popular choice for lawn alternatives, living groundcovers, and interplanting with turf grass.

Self-Heal has been used for generations as a medicinal herb. The leaves and flowers are rich in beneficial compounds and are traditionally prepared fresh or dried for teas, tonics, and topical applications. Its astringent and anti-inflammatory properties have made it especially valued for skin care, wound support, and general wellness practices.

Medicinal Beauty with Practical Uses:

• Low-growing perennial with creeping growth habit
• Blue-violet flower clusters bloom through the season
• Suitable for lawns, paths, and naturalized areas
• Performs well in sun or partial shade

Why Customers Love Self-Heal:

• Traditional medicinal herb with a long history of use
• Easy-to-grow and highly adaptable perennial

How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow Self-Heal seeds on the soil surface or lightly press them in, as light aids germination. Plant in full sun to partial shade and keep soil evenly moist during establishment. Once mature, plants are drought tolerant and spread naturally by rhizomes and self-seeding. Mow or trim as needed to manage growth when used as a lawn alternative or groundcover. Harvest leaves and flowers as desired for herbal use.
