Stachys cooleyae
LAMIACEAE, the Mint family
A tall native perennial in the mint family (not related to stinging nettle) with a fragrant, pungent scent when crushed.
A favorite with hummingbirds and butterflies! Bright pink flowers all summer provide a lot of nectar forage.
This species likes a moist spot and is excellent in rain gardens, riparian edges, low spots and hedgerows. Tends to spread slowly by rhizomes to form patches. May reseed very lightly over time.
This plant is on the Portland Plant List.
Grows 3-5 ft tall. Plant in part shade to quite a bit of shade, or full sun if there is a lot of moisture.
Size: One seed packet
