Summer planting
Contrary to popular opinion, summer planting is fine as long as adequate water is provided throughout any prolonged dry periods. This allows you to take advantage of increased summer growth.
Urtica incisa
Height: 0.4m;  Spread: 0.4m
Herb
An attractive little plant but still has a powerful sting. Can be used for herbal teas and will not become a weed like Urtica dioica..
