California Hedgenettle, Stachys bullata: "California Hedgenettle (Stachys bullata) is a native perennial herb in the Lamiaceae (Mint) family that is found primarily along the coastal strip from the Bay Area southward. Despite its common name, it does not form a hedge and it does not sting like true nettles. Instead, it is a delicate, attractive flowering plant that performs well in damp, partially shaded areas. It tends to grow in wet, swampy, boggy places, at elevations from sea level to 1,600 feet. It tolerates inundation but is usually fine with merely damp soil. While not drought tolerant, it is a good choice for bioswales, pond margins, and similar areas where a more showy, flowering plant may be desired. It blooms from spring through summer. Like most wetland plants, it spreads to occupy suitable territory but is easily controlled."
