Stinging Nettle is an age-old herb that holds a special place in the hearts of herbalists and wild food enthusiasts. While it's well-known for its slight skin-irritating hairs when touched, this seemingly unwelcoming trait is outshone by the plant's rich benefits. Once cooked or dried, the stinging hairs are neutralized, revealing a nutritious and versatile green that can be used in teas, soups, and stews. Beyond its culinary uses, Stinging Nettle has been utilized for its medicinal properties for centuries, especially in herbal teas. Its tall green stems and serrated leaves also offer beauty to garden landscapes, and its blooms attract various beneficial insects.
GROWING INSTRUCTIONS:
Start seeds inside about four to six weeks prior to the last frost free date for your area. Plant one to three seeds in peat pots filled with potting soil. Lightly cover them with ¼ inch of soil. Keep the growing stinging nettle seeds moist. Germination should occur by about 14 days at optimal sowing temp (65-70°). Transplant the growing nettle greens into a prepared garden bed, spaced at least 12 inches apart. You may also direct sow nettle greens in the garden. Choose a spot that has rich, moist soil a little ways from any other herbs. Seed in the spring in rows that are an inch apart and keep the area moist.
