Stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) is a perennial herb known for its distinctive sting caused by tiny hairs on its leaves and stems. This hardy plant thrives in moist, nutrient-rich soil and can reach heights of 3-7 feet. Despite its sting, nettle is valued for its medicinal and culinary uses. Rich in vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium, it is often used in teas, soups, and herbal remedies. Harvesting requires gloves to avoid irritation. Nettle supports biodiversity, serving as a habitat for butterflies and other insects, and its fibers can be used to make textiles.
Not yet planted, but look very healthy👍
Amazing germination rate. Plants are strong and healthy
Research showed this herb spreads easily, so I grew it in a container. Germination was great and the more I picked the more it grew. No dehydrator needed. The leaves dried quickly on a paper plate. Plant slowed down and started looking unhappy when the weather warmed up. Preferred mixing tea with chamomile for a better taste. Overall a good pick for those who like organic herbs/medicine/teas.
They all seemed to have sprouted. I am hoping to get a good bit of nettle this year! All my other seeds are doing great as well!
Great seeds, great price, quick germination and fast delivery
I received a packet of this mix with a previous greenstalk order through MIgardener (best price around!) and was pleasantly surprised how easy it was to grow and how delicious it was! I’ve never grown salad greens before and this was the perfect mix. Even after burning out on gardening late in the summer, I will always look forward to growing this salad green mix in the spring. Thanks for introducing me!
Our banana peppers arrived fairly quickly, even though there was a winter storm in Michigan.
I'm sure they will do well, as most seeds from Migardener do well.
I’ve been growing these for multiple years now. I love all the little surprises that come up. I have quite a collection of cactus plants now, thanks to these seed packets.
Excellent germination! Excellent packaging! Probably jumped the gun a bit but only planted 6 seeds for now!
Beautiful seeds and and extra envelope just for me to save seeds from my crop!
