About this Plant

Description:
Stachys palustris forms clumps of erect stems that grow up to 2-3 feet (60-90 cm) in height. The stems are square-shaped and covered with soft hairs. The leaves are opposite, lance-shaped, and have serrated margins. They are dark green in color and can have a wrinkled or textured appearance. The plant produces dense spikes of tubular flowers that are typically pink to purple in color, although white-flowered cultivars are also available. The flowers are attractive to bees and butterflies and bloom from late spring to summer.

Care Guide:

Lighting: Stachys palustris thrives in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate some shade but generally performs best in brighter light conditions. Aim to provide at least 4-6 hours of direct sunlight each day for optimal growth and flowering.

Water: This plant prefers consistently moist soil and is well-suited for wetland or water garden settings. It can tolerate temporary periods of inundation or shallow water. Regular watering is necessary to keep the soil moist, particularly during dry periods. Avoid allowing the soil to dry out completely, as it may cause stress to the plant.

Soil: Stachys palustris prefers rich, organic, and well-draining soil. It can grow in a wide range of soil types, including clay, loam, or sandy soils. Add organic matter, such as compost or well-rotted manure, to improve soil fertility and moisture retention.

Temperature: This plant is hardy in USDA hardiness zones 4-8. It is adapted to cool to moderate climates and can tolerate both heat and cold conditions. Protect the plant from extreme temperature fluctuations and frost in colder zones.

Maintenance: Stachys palustris is a relatively low-maintenance plant. Deadhead the spent flowers regularly to encourage continuous blooming and prevent self-seeding. Prune back the stems after flowering to promote a compact growth habit and maintain the plant's appearance. Divide the clumps every few years to prevent overcrowding and rejuvenate the plant.

Propagation: This plant can be propagated through division or by collecting and sowing its seeds. Division is typically done in early spring or fall when the plant is not actively growing. Sow the seeds in well-prepared soil and lightly cover them with a thin layer of soil. Keep the soil consistently moist until germination occurs.

Pests and Diseases: Stachys palustris is generally resistant to pests and diseases. However, it may occasionally attract aphids or slugs. Monitor the plant for any signs of infestation and take appropriate measures if necessary. Good air circulation and proper spacing between plants can help prevent diseases.

Stachys palustris adds color and texture to moist garden areas or water features. It is also valued for its ability to attract pollinators to the garden. By following these care guidelines, you can successfully grow Stachys palustris and enjoy its vibrant flowers in your landscape.
