Skullcap and Milky Oats are the classic nerve tonics but this one, in my humble opinion, is just as useful, as easy to grow, and much cuter. Just give them a full day of sun and wait for it to start flowering, which usually happens in July and August to harvest. At 18" in bloom, they make a great border plant.
