Grower
Stinging Nettles grow wild year round with peak seasons in summer in which the plants can reach up to 7 feet tall.
When you cut stinging nettles, they grow right back and you can get a second crop.
Stinging nettles are an herbacious widely spreading perrennial. The hairy leaves and stems have both non-stinging and stinging hairs, known as trichomes, whose tips transform the hairs into needles if touched and removed. Stinging nettles actually have a mild flavor similar to spinach with Italian parsley notes in the finish.
