True motherwort also known as cow wort or lion’s ear is originally native to the Ural Mountains and southern Siberia, but it is also a very traditional native medicinal plant in Central Europe, known as such since antiquity. It belongs to the Lamiaceae family and was a standard plant in monastic and cottage gardens. The wild populations in Germany have shrunk enormously, and the plant is considered endangered. For a long time, the true motherwort was known only as a typical ornamental plant and bee pasture - it is especially attractive to bumblebees. Its medicinal properties have only been thoroughly researched in recent times. It has antispasmodic, sedative, blood pressure-lowering, and labour-inducing effects and is used in folk medicine as a heart tonic, for digestive complaints, menopausal symptoms, and also as a sedative. In the past, it was also used instead of hops to flavour beer.

Bienenbuffet Optisch ist das Echte Herzgespann sicher nicht besonders spektakulär, die Bienen und Hummeln lieben sie dafür umso mehr. Vermehrt sich selbst gut durch Samen. Anspruchslos, bei andauernder Trockenheit sollte man aber ab und zu gießen, sonst leiden die Blütenstände.
