Common Plantain Seeds – Plantago major Hardy Broadleaf Perennial for Herbal & Soil-Improving Gardens

Common Plantain Seeds (Plantago major) produce a resilient broadleaf perennial valued for its traditional herbal uses and remarkable adaptability. This hardy plant thrives where many others struggle—especially in compacted or disturbed soil—making it a useful companion in diverse garden settings. Its deep roots naturally help break up soil, bring nutrients toward the surface, and support overall garden health. With edible leaves and a long history in herbal preparations, Common Plantain is an excellent addition for gardeners who appreciate practical, multipurpose plants.

Hardy, Versatile, and Beneficial to the Garden:

• Broadleaf perennial that tolerates compacted soils and challenging conditions
• Deep roots help improve soil structure and nutrient availability
• Can be contained with simple maintenance such as regular weeding and removing spent flower heads
• Thrives in full sun to partial shade with minimal care once established

Why Customers Love Common Plantain:

• Edible leaves suitable for salads, cooked dishes, or herbal teas
• Traditionally used in topical and internal herbal preparations
• Reliable growth in a wide range of soil types
• Supports sustainable gardening by improving soil naturally

How to Grow:
Sow seeds outdoors in spring or fall, pressing them lightly into the soil surface. Plantain grows well in compacted or average garden soil and tolerates both sun and partial shade. Water lightly during establishment; once mature, the plants require little care. To prevent unwanted spreading, remove flower heads before seeds mature and maintain a light mulch layer.

Harvest & Use:
Harvest young leaves for fresh eating or brewing into teas. Mature leaves can also be cooked like other leafy greens. For traditional herbal use, clean and prepare leaves as desired for topical applications or infusions.
