Plants grow 12 inches tall when in full bloom and are easily grown from herb seeds. The foliage is low growing and green. The name 'Rosularis' means rose-like referring to the look of the flower heads which are shaped like double roses. Common Plantain will self-seed readily by dropping its seeds and forming new Plantain herbs the following spring. Other names for this herb are Greater Plantain and Rat Tail Plantain.\u003cbr\u003eThe young, tender leaves of the Common Plantain plant are edible, and can be used as a salad green of cooked and eaten like spinach. The taste is that of very bitter salad greens with a lingering aftertaste not unlike spinach. Plantain herb plants had historical medicinal use as a wound healer and snakebite remedy, and today the Plantain herbs have been found to have scientific merit. The Common Plantain plant is also enjoyed by butterfly larvae and if allowed to seed, birds eat the dried seeds.\u003cbr\u003eHow To Grow Common Plantains: In a prepared seedbed, sow the Plantain seeds directly outside in the early spring. Lightly cover the herb seeds with soil and keep moist.\u003cbr\u003eFlower Specifications\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSeason: Perennial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUSDA Zones: 3 - 9\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeight: 12 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Season: Early summer to early fall\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloom Color: Green\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEnvironment: Full sun to partial shade\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSoil Type: Average soils, pH tolerant 6.6 - 9.0\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\nPlanting Directions\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTemperature: Sow at 68F, if no germ. in 3 - 4 weeks, move to 24 - 39F for 2 - 4 weeks\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAverage Germ Time: 21 - 28 days\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLight Required: Yes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDepth: 1\/16 inch deep\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSowing Rate: 3 seeds per plant\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMoisture: Keep seeds moist until germination\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePlant Spacing: 15 - 18 inches\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(65, 168, 95);\"\u003eSelect your desired size and color from the available option\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"CARIBBEAN GARDEN SEED","offers":[{"title":"1 Packet-30 Seeds","offer_id":28442624017,"sku":"P18313S","price":3.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"100 Seeds","offer_id":28442624081,"sku":"P18314S","price":5.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"1000 Seeds","offer_id":28442624145,"sku":"P18315S","price":12.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"3000 Seeds","offer_id":28442624273,"sku":"P18316S","price":23.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1022\/5071\/files\/28395572822202.jpg?v=1759502696","url":"https:\/\/caribbeangardenseed.com\/en-de\/products\/plantago-major-seeds-vegetable-herb","provider":"Caribbean garden seed","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
