Name: Siberian Motherwort, Honeyweed
Scientific Name: Leonurus sibiricus
Family Name: Lamiaceae
Product Description:
Leonurus sibiricus is a tall, upright annual herb with slender, square stems and deeply lobed, lance‑cut leaves that give the plant a delicate, airy appearance. Whorls of tubular pink‑purple flowers form at the leaf nodes, creating stacked tiers along the stem. Fast‑growing and lightly aromatic, this species attracts bees and other pollinators and readily reseeds in warm climates. Compared to L. cardiaca and L. artemisia, it is lighter in texture, more graceful in habit, and completes its life cycle in a single season.
Origination: Native to Siberia, China, Mongolia, and parts of East and Central Asia
Historic Uses: Ethnobotanical, Pollinator Plant, Ornamental
Height: 3–7 feet tall depending on soil and moisture
Hardiness: Grown as an annual in all zones; self‑sows in Zones 7–10
Flower Color: Pink to rose‑purple
Other Names: Siberian Motherwort, Honeyweed, Yi Mu Cao (traditional name)
Growing Conditions:
Grow in full sun to light shade. Prefers well‑drained soil but tolerates poor or disturbed ground. Water moderately; drought tolerant once established. Allow seed heads to mature if naturalizing is desired. Cut back after flowering to reduce spread. Performs well in wild gardens, herb beds, and pollinator plantings.
Ships in 3" pots. You will receive a plant similar to the ones pictured, though size and fullness may vary. Please understand that shipped plants have bumpy rides. A few broken leaves or small stems are normal during shipping and are not considered damage. Broken stems can be rooted once the cut end dries to start new growth. Plants may arrive semi‑dormant, and in winter they may naturally drop a few leaves. If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it. Please contact us with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery. After 24 hours, plant care becomes the buyer’s responsibility, though we’re always happy to answer questions and help you succeed. We also add brief instructions on getting started when you open your box. We want our plant babies to have happy new homes! 🥰
Heat packs are available to purchase in our shop for cold-sensitive plants. Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 These are necessary for winter shipping, so I sell them at cost. I won't refund or replace any frozen plants unless you buy one!
