Self heal, Prunella vulgaris, is a wildflower native to the UK, where it's found growing in grassland, meadows and lawns. It's a low-growing, semi-evergreen perennial with spikes of violet-blue (occasionally pink or white) flowers, from June to September. Part of the mint family (Lamiaceae), self heal (or all-heal and heal-all) has long been used for its medicinal qualities – the leaves are reputed to heal wounds when applied to them. The plant has many other names too, including blue curls, blue Lucy and thimble flower. In the garden, self heal can be grown as part of a wildflower patch or wildflower lawn, at the front of a border, or used as ground cover. It self-seeds easily so if not deadheaded, it will spread. The flowers are extremely attractive to bees. Grow self heal in moist but well-drained soil, in sun or partial shade. It does best when surrounded by other low-growing plants and grows extremely well in lawns. Ensure that it's not smothered by taller plants, cutting them back at the end of the season. Deadhead after flowering if you want to stop self heal spreading – it self-seeds readily.
