Nettle (Urtica dioica)
€3.45
Nettles are a vigorous hardy perennial that grow very well in Ireland. While often considered a 'weed' plant, they are also highly valued for their nutritional and medicinal properties. They provide an abundant source of spring greens, used in soups and teas, and their leaves and seeds provide food and habitat for butterflies and birds. Nettle is used in biodynamic preparations. Each pack contains 0.5g organic seed. More details below.
