Plantago major
PLANTAIN

Plantaginaceae

Perennial plant growing to about 35cm with clusters of tiny green flowers on tall spikes.
When the flowers are spent the seeds form on the hardened spikes, this makes for easy
harvesting of seed as it is not unlike picking up joss sticks.
Parts used are the leaves.

Rich in vitamin C, K and T. The leaves can be used as a poultice instead of comfrey in treating bruises and broken bones
 

Packet of 100 seeds $3.50
