Plantago cornuti, commonly known as Greater Plantain, is a perennial herb native to Europe and temperate Asia, particularly found in meadows, grasslands, and fields. It typically grows to a height of 15-30 cm (6-12 inches) and spreads out in a rosette form. The leaves are broad and strongly ribbed, and the plant produces small, inconspicuous greenish flowers on tall spikes from late spring to autumn. Greater Plantain is not particularly showy, but it is valued for its medicinal properties, including its use in treating wounds and respiratory problems.

Greater Plantain is often used in herbal medicine and can be found in naturalized areas outside of its native range. It is a hardy plant that can tolerate a range of soil conditions, from moist to dry, and prefers full sun to partial shade. It is low-maintenance and can be a useful ground cover in some settings. However, its potential for invasiveness should be considered before planting. It can become a weed in lawns and gardens due to its prolific seed production and ability to grow in compacted soils.CC BY-SA 4.0
