Blooming from June to September, Prunella vulgaris lanceolata prefers full sun to part shade and moist to dry soils. Growing 0.5–1.5' tall with a 1–1.5' above-ground spread, it provides habitat and forage for Clouded Sulphur butterflies, Silver-spotted Skippers, Bicolored Striped Sweat Bees, and Eastern Cottontails. It is a creeping, carpeting perennial that spreads by rooting at stem nodes and self-seeding.
