A carpet that spreads by itself and blooms all summer. Large-flowered self-heal Pagoda is a low-growing, fully frost-hardy perennial with creeping stems ending in dense flower heads in white, pink and purple. It spreads into a compact carpet, needs nothing more than sun and well-drained soil, while bees and bumblebees visit it continuously from June to August.
Large-flowered self-heal is a cultivated relative of the common self-heal found in meadows, but with flowers twice as large, arranged in short, spiny heads. The Pagoda mixture produces plants in three colours – white, pink and bluish violet – which create a natural, meadow-like composition when sown together. The stems lie down and root, so a few plants develop into a dense, weed-suppressing turf after two seasons.
Plants sown in spring flower in the first year, which is not a given with perennials. They withstand frost down to -30°C without protection, tolerate light shade and drier positions, and after flowering it is enough to cut them back for fresh leaves to emerge.
Sowing (March – April, under cover): sow the seeds on the surface in trays filled with well-drained growing medium, covering them with a thin layer of sand or vermiculite – they germinate in the presence of light. Temperature 15–20°C; emergence after 14–21 days, often uneven. If some seeds have not germinated, do not discard the tray: they may germinate after a period of cold.
Pricking out: transplant seedlings at the 2–3 true-leaf stage into 7–8 cm pots or plug trays. Young plants grow slowly but are very hardy; from May, they can be kept outdoors.
Planting out / direct sowing (May – June): plant seedlings in their permanent position at a spacing of 25 × 25 cm; in the second year, the plants form a continuous carpet. You can also sow directly into the ground from May to June, in well-weeded, well-drained soil, no deeper than 0.5 cm. Soil pH should be neutral to slightly alkaline.
Care: water only in the first year and during prolonged drought; mature self-heal takes care of itself. Fertilising is unnecessary; a spring layer of compost is sufficient. After the main flowering period, cut back the flower heads to encourage further blooming and prevent self-seeding. It is worth dividing the clumps every 3–4 years.
An ideal ground cover plant: beneath trees and shrubs, on slopes, between paving slabs and along flower-bed edges. In a rock garden and on walls, it fills gaps with compact cushions. It works well as an edging plant along paths and as a low foreground plant in a perennial bed. It is also a valuable nectar plant – in an insect-friendly garden, it is worth giving it several square metres. The flowers can be cut for small summer bouquets.
Self-heal seeds can be temperamental – some germinate immediately, while others wait for cold. If you want to be sure, sow half the package indoors in March and the other half in late autumn, directly into the ground or into a tray left outdoors. Winter will provide the stratification, and both sowings will emerge in spring.
