Product Details

Betony (Stachys officinalis) is a perennial plant that naturally grows in clear forests, meadows, and areas with moist vegetation. Its ideal habitat is well-drained, slightly acidic soils, and it adapts to both partial shade and direct sunlight. The plant forms a basal rosette of oblong leaves with serrated edges and an intense green color. These leaves, which have a distinctive aroma when rubbed, are typically covered with fine hairs on the underside.

During the summer, Betony produces flowers grouped in dense spikes, emerging from upright stems. The flowers, which are purple or pink in color, are small but striking and attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies. The flowering period can last several weeks, depending on environmental conditions.

In addition to its ornamental appeal, Betony has traditionally been used in wildflower gardens, valued for its adaptability to different conditions and its resistance to pests and diseases. Its evergreen foliage provides year-round interest, and its flowers contribute to biodiversity, making it an excellent choice for gardens that support pollinator habitats.
