I found a site that had a picture of a plant, saying it was Prunella Vulgaris (aka, Self-Heal). I thought, 'Hey! I have that in my backyard!' So I was interested in it's healing properties and did more research-but none of the pictures of the plant looked the same. I know they're both in the Mint family, but I'm not sure what this particular plant is.

Here's a picture of the plant in my backyard (the same picture that was on the first site I found)

And here's a picture of what all the other sites are saying it looks like-

They're very similar-the shape and color of the flowers are almost the same, but the leaves are different as well as the placement of the flowers.

Does anybody know what this plant is then?

Thanks!

  1. The one from your yard looks like a weed I have in my lawn and gardens, I think its called hensbit.  The other looks like a sort of ground cover.
