Lycopus Sessilifolius

Blueweed, scientifically known as Lycopus sessilifolius, is a hardy perennial plant native to temperate regions of the northern hemisphere. It is characterized by its striking blue flowers and dark green, sessile leaves that give it its common name. This plant thrives in moist, shady environments such as woodlands and stream banks, making it a popular choice for naturalized gardens. While it is often mistaken for other members of the Lamiaceae family, Blueweed has distinct features that set it apart. Its ecological importance includes supporting pollinators and serving as a habitat for various small organisms.
