![Here's a sweet little tip if you're new to medicinal herb gardening (or foraging for that matter): learn to identify your leaves! This is Marshmallow [Althea officinalis]. You can see these big beautiful leaves that are broad + kidney shapes with ridged edges BUT if you look to the left of this photo you'll see a few smaller, heart-shaped leaves with much smoother edges -》those are the first leaves! As the plant grows past the stage in this photo the leaves higher up on the plant can change yet again, becoming more pointy and less broad. Knowing the leaf shape + texture of a plant can make a huge different if you've:
• moved into a new place and aren't sure what plants are already in the beds or garden.
• planted seeds but don't know if what's coming up is infact what you planted
• trying to identify weeds at early stages for removal (or for medicine!)
• foraging
Learning your plant I.D. takes time so be patient! The more I grow certain plants in my garden, the more I'm able to identify their features at all stages! Take your time. Find a reputable book (a plant I.D. key is helpful). Grab a magnifying class if you need it. Go out and observe. Practice, practice, practice!🔎🌿
