Stinging Nettles can be great plants! Not only as a good deterrent for unwanted visitors but they can be great for; composting, used dried for animal fodder, attracting beneficial pollinators, restoring nutrients to worn out soil, used in culinary delights! (Nettle Tea, Cream of Nettle Soup), medicinal benefits, and more.

Stinging Nettles are easy to grow but can spread rapidly through their roots. Like Mint you may want to keep nettles growing in a container buried in the ground to prevent the nettle roots from spreading.

Sow Nettle seeds in Spring or Fall into finely raked and weeded soil (if you want them to spread). Alternatively sow them directly into containers planted in the ground or into seed flats to transplant later. Nettles will grow in Full Sun or Partial Shade.

Stinging Nettle: Urtica dioica: Zone 3-10.Perennial. Sprinkle seeds directly onto soil after danger of frost. Do not cover. Keep moist until established. Germination 7 - 21 days. Transplant when 2-3 true leaves appear. Space seedlings 18"-24" apart in Full Sun/Partial Shade.
