 Epilobium parviflorum
SMALL FLOWERED
WILLOW HERB
Prosta Wort


Epilobium


Once you plant this herb in the garden, you are reasonably assured of always having it.

The very tiny seeds germinate quickly and profusely, enabling you to have sufficient herb on hand to use as you need. We have found that it grows best in part shade and, given it's propensity for self sowing, it is best to give it as much room as you can to spread in later generations.

As the seed is so tiny, we try and leave the feathery tail on to make it easier to find in the packet.


Packet of 25+ seeds $4.50

 

The aerial parts are very useful as a tea or a tincture for a variety of ailments affecting the bladder and kidneys. As a remedy for Prostrate enlargement we find it better than Saw Palmetto as the relief from the pain and discomfort seems more immediate.
