Betonica officinalis aka Bishop's Wort

Betonica officinalis, also known as common hedgenettle, betony, purple betony, wood betony, bishopwort, or bishop's wort, is a herbaceous perennial plant in the mint family Lamiaceae. Native to Europe, western Asia, and northern Africa, this species is often referred to as Stachys officinalis due to its inflorescence resembling an ear of grain. The plant has a culinary and medicinal use, with Pliny mentioning its usage by the Vettones. It grows up to 60cm (2ft) high, producing attractive pure-white double flowers in summer that are highly appealing to bees and other pollinators. The foliage is soft green and crinkled, forming rosettes at the base. In its natural habitat, such as meadows, gardens, parks, pastures, hedge banks, and open forest woodlands, purple betony displays large heart-shaped leaves on long stems, while its 2-lipped flowers have 3 lobes, with the central lobe being the largest. Overall, this compact perennial is a valuable addition to wildlife gardens.
