Wild Purple Dead Nettle

$6.00

It goes by many names – dead nettle, red dead nettle and purple archangel.

Purple dead nettle is a bit of a mixed-up plant. It earned its name, dead nettle, because the leaves are similar to stinging nettle. However, because there are no stinging trichomes on the leaves, it’s considered ‘dead’. To top it all off, it’s not even a true nettle (Urticaceae family) – it’s a mint.

Use this edible weed in the same way you would any other bitter green or herb.
