Description
Tormentil is a perennial plant that does especially well in grasslands, heaths, fens, mountaintops and in open forests, especially on slightly acid soils. Tormentil blooms from June to September. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by bees, flies, beetles, lepidoptera (moths and butterflies). The plant is self-pollinating.
All parts of Tormentil contain more tannin than e.g. oak bark and are therefore strongly astringent. Thus, this plant is best used where use of tannins can provide support.
