Stinging Nettle (Urtica dioica) is a hardy perennial with young spring leaves used for tea, soups, and other cooked dishes. Cooking or drying removes the sting. Fresh leaves and stems should be handled with gloves and covered skin.
The plant accumulates nutrients in its foliage, and the leaves are also used to make liquid garden fertilizer.

How to stratify seed
Warm stage first. Keep the same bag at room temperature for the warm period shown, then move it to the fridge.
In the fridge. Put the seed in a bag with a damp medium such as peat moss, vermiculite, sand or coco coir. The medium is only there to hold moisture. Keep the bag in the fridge, above freezing, for the cold period shown, then sow.
Or outside. Sow the seed outdoors in the fall and let winter do the cold period.
