Description:

Prunella is one of the longest blooming ground covers in any flower garden, and if the Prunella ground cover seeds are sown in spring, it blooms the first Summer!  This low-growing creeper spreads slowly by both seed and a self-rooting habit. The edible leaves and flowers have been prized in folk medicine for centuries. The small pink to purple flowers are rich in pollen and bloom early in the season, so they are an important food source for butterflies, bumble bees, long horned bees, sweat bees, and honey bees. Goldfinches eat the tiny seeds after the flowers finish

Sow Prunella seeds in late winter, indoors. Sow the ground cover seed on the surface of lightly firmed, moist seed compost in pots or trays. Lightly cover the Prunella seeds with a fine sprinkling of peat moss. Place in a warm place, and keep at a temperature of between 65 - 70F. After sowing keep the surface of the compost moist but not soggy. When large enough to handle, transplant the Prunella seedlings into 3 inch pots. Gradually harden the seedlings to outdoor conditions for 10 - 15 days before planting out after all risk of frost. Space plants 12 inches apart or plant in containers. Prunella care includes trimming off old flower spikes for a neater appearance and to promote further blooming.
