Neutral Baa On May 23, 2002, Baa wrote:

Creeping perennial plant from Europe.

Has ovate, opposite, toothed, hairy leaves which resemble a Stinging Nettle (Urtica species) but without the stings. Bears pure white, quite large, hooded flowers borne in dense whorls.

Flowers almost from the time it appears in March through to when it dies back in Mid Winter.

Likes a well drained but moist soil in light shade but will also tolerate full sun.

Not a plant for the small garden as it will spread far and wide in the right conditions. Bees adore the flowers and its a valuable plant for early nectar seekers.

Regional...

This plant has been said to grow in the following regions:

Purcell, Oklahoma
Dallas, Texas
