Prunella vulgaris - Organic perennial

The common brunette (Prunella vulgaris) is a plant of the Lamiaceae family. It is a low-growing, slightly hairy plant that grows in grassy areas. The plant originates from Central Europe. The common brunel often has a purple haze. The stem is square and creeps at the bottom. The dense inflorescence is the reason for the alternative name 'beehive'. The leaves are oblong to ovate. They can be either serrated or entire. There is a terminal, dense, round inflorescence. The plant flowers from May to autumn. The flower is bluish-purple, reddish, violet or rarely white, double-lipped and 1-1.5 cm long. The upper lip is curved and the lower lip has long slips. The calyx is five-toothed and there is a circular bract under each flower. The fruit of the common brunel consists of four nuts. (Source: wikipedia)
