Plant your Prunella grandiflora upon receipt in the garden or in a planter. Prepare a wide hole and loosen the soil with a fork. Improve poor soil with a mix of potting compost and granulated cow manure. Plant your large prunella at the correct depth - the top of the roots should be just below ground level. Fill the hole with soil, heel well in and water immediately.
Large prunella will thrive in fertile, fairly moist soil in full sun or part shade. The sunnier the spot, the moister the soil can be.
 

Large prunella in the garden
 

Prunella grandiflora is a hardy perennial that can be left to grow for years in the same spot. Large prunella is one of the most popular ground cover plants.

Prunella grandiflora is an easy-going plant that requires little or no maintenance. Keep the soil around the roots moist as soil that is too dry will not be tolerated. This is a hardy plant that stays green for a long time into the winter. Cut off old leaves in the spring. The rhizome will spread nicely, fairly quickly. Large prunella flowers from early summer right into the autumn.
