Cold-stratify seed for 2–4 weeks in the refrigerator, then surface-sow onto moist, peat-based starting mix in a warm location; germination can be slow and erratic. Plant in humus-rich, well-drained soil in partial shade or dappled light, where wood betony colonizes the herbaceous layer of meadow and woodland edge. The square stems bear whorls of rosy-purple flowers in early to midsummer and are ornamental as well as useful. Harvest aerial parts — stems, leaves, and flowers — in full bloom, drying for use in traditional headache and digestive bitters teas, where the herb is valued for its mild nervine and astringent properties. Спосіб посадки: Посів на розсаду вдома Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 18–24 дюймів Дні до схожості: 14–30 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 13–18°C --- Час посадки: -8–-6 тижнів від останнього весняного заморозка Start indoors 6–8 weeks before last frost after a brief cold stratification; transplant to a partially shaded site after frost danger passes.
