Seeds, Wildflower, Tiny Blooms Rich in Nectar, Attracts Bees
One packet containing 400 Lanceleaf Figwort (Scrophularia lanceolata) seeds. These seeds were collected fresh in the fall of 2024 and packaged for 2025.
The Lanceleaf figwort produces small flowers that are greenish-brown to reddish-brown in color. Although the nectar-rich flowers are not very showy, they serve as little sippy cups for pollinators. Each flower measures about ¼ to ⅓ inch wide and has a tubular shape with a round base. The flowers feature two lips: the upper lip is the longest, overhanging the flower like a roof, and is typically reddish-green. This lip protects the stamens and nectar from rain. The light-colored stamens resemble a large tongue inside an open mouth, while the lower lip folds downward and is usually greenish-brown.
The plant blooms from June to August and emits a slight fragrance. Figworts are rich in nectar and pollen, attracting butterflies, hummingbirds, and bees. Additionally, it serves as a host plant for various butterfly caterpillars. While it prefers full sun, it can tolerate partial shade. The plant can grow up to 6 feet tall with a spread of 18 inches.
The stems of the Lanceleaf figwort are erect, stout, and minutely hairy, with a 4-sided structure featuring shallow grooves. The leaves can grow up to 8 inches long and 3 inches wide, characterized by a pointed tip and coarse teeth; they are arranged oppositely along the stem. The foliage resembles that of a stinging nettle.
Good companion plants for the Lanceleaf figwort include Monarda, Ohio spiderwort, and Gaillardia.
The seeds are tested for germination by the State of Wisconsin and packaged for 2025. Whittlesey Creek Wildflower Farm is a licensed nursery grower and seed labeler in Ashland, Wisconsin, Bayfield County.
