(Purple archangel)
Attractive beeplant and medicinal herb with purple-tinged foliage and purple-red flowers. Unlike its nasty distant cousin, the stinging nettle, this nettle does not sting which explains the name. Flowers and foliage stop hemorrhages; tea is useful against chills as it acts on the kidneys and induces sweating.
