Common speedwell is an old medicinal plant native to and growing wild all throughout Europe. It can be found mainly at the edge of forests on dry, nutrient-poor, lime-poor and acidic soils. It grows rather low and likes to spread out, forming small
carpets. The beautiful light blue and dark veined flowers appear from June to August in stemmed racemes.
A beautiful flowering perennial for semi-shade locations and herb patches as well as for natural herb gardens.
In the Middle Ages, heath speedwell was described as a sort of panacea and was given many telling nick names like gypsyweed or European tea, for example. The dried herb was often used in herbal infusions and was said to have mucolytic, diuretic and cleansing properties. Today it no longer has great relevance in medical use. Nevertheless, one recognizes its great importance in earlier times by the many different popular names.
Young and tender plants can also be used in the kitchen, as leafy vegetables, for wild herb salads or as cooked vegetables.
