Also called Annual yellow woundwort, Annual woundwort, Annual Hedge Nettle, Field Woundwort
Annual hedgenettle is a small annual weed of the mint family found in fields, road verges and waste ground across Europe and temperate Asia. It is grown only as a wild or garden-edge plant, and it self-seeds readily.
Stachys annua, called the annual yellow woundwort, is a widespread species of flowering plant in the hedgenettle genus Stachys, native to Europe, the Middle East, and western Siberia, and introduced in Cyprus, eastern North America, and Amur Oblast and Primorsky Krai in far eastern Russia. It is a common plant in fields, road verges and waste places.
