Stinging Nettle Roots
Stinging Nettle Roots
- Latin Name: Urtica dioica
- Seed Count: ≈ Seeds
A hardy perennial in the Mint family, nettle is rich in minerals and vitamins and valued for its anti-inflammatory and other medicinal properties. Easy to grow in a large planter pot, garden bed or in a natural area. Nettle does best with a rich moist soil and these roots should be planted flat, 3-4 cm below the soil surface. Harvest whole young stems in early spring, leaving 2-3 buds so the plant grows again for additional picking. Eat steamed or dry and store for a mineral-rich winter tea. Nettle seed is nutritious with a nutty flavour, and the stems if left to fully mature can be stripped for their durable cordage fibres.

I’ve been spoiled by Fiona’s chard and can no longer eat grocery store bought chard. Metchosin farm is a magical seed bank with some of the most unique and carefully created/birthed vegetables and fruits. If you live in the PNW her seeds will be the best thing you ever grow in your garden.

My seeds arrived less than a week after ordering, and so far everything I’ve planted is sprouting beautifully. I have every confidence my family will be feasting like royalty from our garden this summer. Thank you metchosin farm!
