Goldenseal
Hydrastis canadensis

A valued medicinal plant that has become rare in the wild due to overcollection. Inconspicuous white flowers give rise to bright red raspberry-like fruits that sit nestled amid the maple-shaped leaves. Rhizome and roots are golden in color, hence the common name. Slowly spreads to form an attractive, bold-textured ground cover for the woodland garden. Companions: False Goat’s Beard, Hepatica, Spring Beauty, Ginseng, Crested Iris, and Ferns.
