Known for its health-supporting properties, stinging nettle is a traditional herbal ally used in teas, tonics, and cooking. Many gardeners appreciate it for its nutritional benefits, as the young leaves are rich in iron, calcium, magnesium, and vitamins. Planting nettle is a meaningful step toward food independence and self-reliance, giving you a sustainable source of a valuable medicinal herb right in your backyard.

Stinging nettle is a hardy perennial that thrives in USDA zones 3 through 10. Once established, it reliably returns each season with lush green growth. Sow seeds in spring or fall, keeping the soil moist until seedlings take hold. Nettles prefer rich, damp soil and partial shade but will adapt to a variety of conditions. Harvest carefully with gloves to avoid the sting until the leaves are dried or cooked.

The leaves of stinging nettle have been enjoyed for centuries in soups, sautés, and herbal teas. Once prepared, the sting disappears, leaving behind a nutritious and earthy-tasting green. Dried leaves are commonly stored for tea, while fresh shoots can be cooked like spinach or added to broths. With a reliable patch of nettle growing in your garden, you’ll always have access to this versatile and healthful herb.
