The answer to this question is a combination of yes and no. Why? It’s because not all parts of Herb Robert are edible. Herb Robert or Saint Robert’s Herb was named after Robert, a French monk who has helped treat people suffering from different diseases using his plant which he grew himself. Herb Robert is known for its pink flowers and its unpleasant odor and starts to bloom in spring until early fall.

It is star shaped and measures between 1.5 to 2 centimeters and it can grow between 30 to 40 centimeters in height. Herb Roberts typically grow in shady areas, in undergrowth, walls, rocks, waste places and hedge banks. The edible parts of Herb Roberts are its flower and fresh leaves for making tea, repelling mosquitoes, deer and rabbits.
