    (Gipsywort, Bugleweed) Rhizomatous herbaceous perennial native to Europe. Strangely and enticingly aromatic. Traditional usage (TWM): thyroid malfunction.

    Plant prefers moist, poorly draining ground and full sun to part shade. Sow seed on surface and press in, then keep evenly moist and in the light until germination, which occurs in a week or two. Work plants up to a sufficient size before transplanting to landscape. These tend to dig in and spread when given plenty of water. Gravel mulch can be very helpful.

    Uses: The stem and leaves were used as an astringent and sedative and used to treat anxiety, tuberculosis and heart palpitations. It has also been used in the treatment of hyperthyroidism and related disorders. Industrially, Gypsywort was used in making a permanent black dye which is where it may have got its name from. Gypsies were said to have used it to stain their skin darker to resemble Africans or Egyptians when performing 'magic'.
