- Comments
- In the Watershed, hairy hedgenettle has been recorded often in the Basin and on up into the lower montane. It is typically found in mesic habitats, often ruderal such as wet cultivated meadows, seeps, road sides, irrigation ditches, etc. The latest observation is of a plant growing in stabilized sand of the Great Sand Dunes NPP (2023, iNaturalist #173138237). Stachys pilosa is the most wide spread hedgenettle in the USA, growing everywhere except below the Mason-Dixon line and in Texas. It follows the Rio Grande drainage through New Mexico but not farther downstream.
