Description

Often called “nature’s bandaid” since it’s so easy to wrap around a finger, Plantain is one of the primary topical healing plants western herbalists will reach for. It grows abundantly all the way from spring until late summer. 

As an edible weed, plantain has long been worked with for its gentle but reliable cooling and moistening properties in order to support the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tracts. 

Indigenous populations called plantain “white man’s footprint” since it spread as aggressively across the US as colonization did.

Plantago is naturalized in most places and while it readily spreads, it is not reported as noxious or detrimental to ecosystems. 

Approximately 50 seeds, harvested for 2025.
