Siberian Motherwort Siberian Beauty Seeds — Leonurus sibiricus

A Rare and Architectural Beauty for the NZ Garden

Siberian Motherwort Siberian Beauty (Leonurus sibiricus) is a striking and unusual biennial or short-lived perennial that is rarely seen in New Zealand gardens — making it a genuine collector’s find. Tall and architectural in habit, it produces whorls of soft pink-purple tubular flowers along square stems clothed in deeply cut, ornamental foliage. A plant that draws the eye and sparks conversation, Siberian Beauty is as wildlife-friendly as it is beautiful.

Growing Tips for New Zealand

Sow seeds in spring or early summer into a fine seed-raising mix at 18–22°C. Surface sow and press lightly into the mix — seeds need light to germinate. Keep moist until germination, which typically takes 2–3 weeks. Grow seedlings on in a sheltered position before planting out into a sunny, well-drained spot. Leonurus sibiricus self-seeds freely once established, naturalising happily in the right conditions. Well suited to most NZ regions.
