Notes:
Betony has been cultivated since medieval times and was once considered one of the most important herbs in European gardens. The plant self-seeds modestly and forms attractive, long-lived clumps. Flowers are excellent for cutting and the distinctive blooms add vertical interest to shade gardens.

For an organic garden, this potted perennial adds purple flowers to a pollinator garden and may draw a butterfly. Consider it for garden gifts for her.
