Shade-lover native to the eastern deciduous forests of the US. This is a truly lovely plant. Could be mistaken for a mint from a distance when not in bloom, but everything about it is more refined and dainty. Lovely blue flowers in summer. I have this under a plum tree, where it appreciates the dappled shade, moist soil, and mulch of fallen leaves in winter.Herbalists consider this a nervine tonic that acts to nourish and balance the nervous system and brain. It is especially used to break cycles of anxiety, and gently allow sleep. Not a "knock-out" sedative, instead it is calming and centering. 50 seeds
