Common name: Ribwort Plantain

Latin name: Plantago lanceolata

Description: Ribwort plantain is found across a wide range of habitats, such as meadows, upland grasslands, rocky ledges, sand dunes and cliffs, as well as gardens and roadsides. The spear-shaped flower heads are distinctive, and provide a good source of food for birds in the winter. Throughout the year, it is a good attractant of small butterflies, moths and hoverflies.

Height: up to 45cm

Flowering: June to August.

Colour: Brown with white stamens

Management: Ribwort plantain grows best in dry to moist, well-drained soil and full sunlight. It is relatively resistant to drought and to trampling, but not to waterlogging.

Kindly be aware that as autumn approaches, our wildflower plants might be delivered in a state where they appear to have passed their peak. We strive to inform you about this at the time of your order. It is common for native plants to exhibit leaf blotches or have dead/brown leaves during specific times of the year; this is entirely natural. We assure you that we meticulously inspect the root condition, ensuring their robust health. Once planted, the plug plant will respond accordingly.

Please understand that owing to the perishable nature of our plug plants, the usual right to cancel does not apply.
