Burdock
Starting at $3.00
Characterized by its enormous heart-shaped leaves, burdock is commonly found throughout North America. The fresh or dried roots are collected and used in wound care, tincture making, and herbal tea blends. Roots can be harvested once the plant is three months to a year in age. Sow seeds 1/4″ deep directly in the ground in early spring – germination can take some time. Sow every 6″ and thin to one plant every 24-36″. It is reported to be supportive of the liver, healing for skin blemishes, and cooling for inflammation.
