Good King Henry Plant
(Ready for pick-up in June)

Perennial green. This plant has a long history of use in Central and Southern Europe where it is quite common. The leaves are eaten in early spring, the flowering shoots in early summer and the seeds in the fall (processed like quinoa). A low-growing plant, it pairs well with thyme and self-heal. We are currently trialing it in polycultures of other perennial seed bearing plants like Desmanthus and perennial flax.
