In this video we talk about the spring edibles purple dead nettle (Lamium purpureum) and henbit. (Lamium amplexicaule) Both plants are considered to be look alikes and can be eaten raw or cooked. In this video we talk a bit about identification and how to tell henbit and purple dead nettle apart. There are many great medicinal qualities to these plants and they are also early nectar sources for some pollinators. If you see some growing give them a try but make sure to save some for the bees!

Sometimes these plants are confused with another spring edible in the mint family called creeping charlie. We did one of our last videos on this plant. Here is the link to that video:
