White Horehound Seeds (Marrubium vulgare) grow into a hardy, time-tested medicinal herb valued for both traditional remedies and specialty culinary uses. Also known as hoarhound or woolly horehound, this perennial herb has been used for generations in herbal medicine, especially in soothing preparations like teas, syrups, candies, and cough drops.
Plants form a compact, bushy shape reaching 2–3 feet tall and wide, with distinctive gray-green leaves covered in fine hairs and small pink, lavender, or white flowers. White horehound is well suited to homestead gardens, herb beds, and low-maintenance landscapes. Its strong aroma makes it naturally deer-resistant while still attracting pollinators when in bloom.
Hardy, Low-Maintenance Perennial:
- Drought-tolerant once established
- Grows 2–3 feet tall and wide
- Gray-green, woolly leaves with small pale flowers
- Thrives in a wide range of growing conditions
Why Customers Love White Horehound:
- Long history of medicinal and herbal use
- Ideal for homemade teas, candies, and cough drops
- Naturally deer-resistant due to strong aroma
- Easy to grow and suitable for perennial herb gardens
How to Use / How to Grow:
Sow white horehound seeds in full sun and well-drained soil. Plants are slow to establish but become long-lived and resilient once mature. Water regularly during early growth, then reduce watering as plants develop their drought tolerance.
Fresh leaves have a very strong, bitter aroma and are typically dried before use. Once dried, horehound develops a distinctive flavor often described as a blend of root beer and licorice. Harvest leaves before flowering for the best quality, and dry them thoroughly before storage or use.
