Reported in flower

Only 5 records here show flowers, too few to show a flowering season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.

Reported in fruit

No records here show fruit yet, so there is no fruiting season to show. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.

Recording in Ohio · records of all species each week, 1,691,199 in all

Records per week from 2,696 records in 10 of the 10 years from 2016 to 2025. Shows when people recorded it, not how common it is. The grey bars show how many records of all species were made here each week, so you can see when recording itself was high or low; the season is not adjusted by them.

Recorded on 968 dates. Latest record: December 2025.

Reported in flower

Usually reported in flower mid-June to early October, middle week Jul 26 – Aug 1.

From 251 records that show flowers. Not every photo of a plant in flower is marked as flowering, so this shows when people reported it in flower, not when it flowers.

Reported in fruit

Only 19 records here show fruit, too few to show a fruiting season. One needs at least 20 records from 5 different years.

What these results show

These results show when people recorded a species, not when or where it occurs. Missing weeks and low counts do not mean absence or scarcity, and counts are not abundance. Contributed records reflect where, when and what people chose to observe.

Identification

How to identify it

Telling it apart

From what Ohio’s records show. Only what the records support is shown.

Often confused with

  • carpet bugle Ajuga reptansOften confused in Ohio: 16 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
  • ground-ivy Glechoma hederaceaOften confused in Ohio: 13 identifications in Ohio named one where the other was meant
  • red deadnettle Lamium purpureum99 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant
  • Wild Basil Clinopodium vulgare97 identifications worldwide named one where the other was meant

From iNaturalist’s similar-species counts, refreshed monthly: confusions in Ohio first, then worldwide. Only species with an Ohio result are listed.

Finer identifications

Some Ohio records of this species were identified to a subspecies:

  • Prunella vulgaris subsp. lanceolataselfhealsubspecies

A few other records were identified to other subspecies.

Every one of these records counts toward common selfheal's season above.

Why some records go further than species

Many plants vary from place to place. Botanists name these groups at three levels below species: subspecies, variety and form, from the broadest difference to the smallest. Observers and experts only identify a record that far when it shows enough detail to tell them apart. Records without that detail count at the species level.
