Stinging Nettle Seeds | Urtica dioica

Nettles are an incredibly nourishing herbal food, rich in chlorophyll, calcium, vitamins K, iron, potassium, magnesium, and more. There is about as much vitamin C and carotene in stinging nettle leaf as in spinach and other greens. Nettles are one of the first plants we see in spring to help build healthy blood, bones, joints, & skin. They are particularly beneficial for prostate issues, renal issues, eczema, and allergies. Nettles are dioecious, meaning that individual plants are either "male" or "female". They are not self-fertile, as both male and female plants must be grown in order to produce seeds (which will develop on female plants only) Nettles have been reported as invasive in Virginia, so should be wild-harvested here, rather than planted intentionally.    Approximately 100 seeds, harvested for 2023. Grown using only compost, water, & organic fertilizer, our plants are never treated or sprayed with anything at all.    Lifecycle: Perennial Zones: 4-9 Region: Native to
