Add Your Opinion About This Plant
Do not add this plant to your garden unless you want to keep a constant eye on it. It spreads by seed and very long underground runners. The plant was formerly used as a medicinal herb. The young leaves are very good in soups and stews. A crushed leaf can relieve insect bite itches. A tea made from the leaves may relieve indigestion.

I second Droopy's comments about it being potentially invasive. Watch out. Too bad because it is very attractive. Unfortunately deer seem to leave it alone
