White Deadnettle

Description:

20-50 cm. It is a herbaceous perennial plant with green, four-angled stems. It appears superficially similar to the Stinging nettle Urtica dioica but does not sting, hence the common name "dead nettle". The superficial likeness serves to deter rabbits and other herbivores from eating it. The flowers are white, produced in whorls ('verticillasters') on the upper part of the stem, the individual flowers 1.5-2.5 cm long.

Habitat:

Here they can be found in prairies, meadows, and woods.
