The Goldenseal Plant is a woodland perennial herb with distinctive lobed leaves and small, greenish-white flowers that give way to bright red berries. It is valued for its properties and has several advantages in landscaping projects. This perennial belongs to the Ranunculaceae family and is renowned for its medicinal properties and striking appearance.
It is popular with gardeners for its foliage and flowers. Its botanical name is Hydrastis Canadensis, but it's also called Yellowroot, orangeroot, yellow eye, ground raspberry, and yellow puccoon. It's native to North America and can be found across Vermont into Georgia and as far southwest as Arkansas. It's also grown in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Hydrastis Canadensis is part of the buttercup or Ranunculaceae family, and it gets many of its names from its yellow or golden rhizomes and pale yellow sap.
It reaches a height between six and 20 inches. It's characterized by its tiny white flowers that are comprised of stamens and pistols rather than petals. The flowers typically bloom in May and are framed by two leaves with three to seven lobes. The Hydrastis Canadensis is categorized as a perennial herb that develops small, red berry-like fruit. In nature, it's typically found in wooded forests, along hillsides, and in valleys.
Birdwatchers and individuals looking to create gardens that benefit insects will appreciate it. Hydrastis Canadensis primarily attracts birds, squirrels, and bees, especially honey bees. Squirrels, birds, and other small animals love to eat the berries and seeds that form in late summer.
It thrives in shady areas. Gardeners will have the best success planting it around and under trees and large shrubs in shadier areas of their yards. It also works well in herb and flower gardens.
Gardeners prefer to put Hydrastis Canadensis around sugar maple trees, walnut trees, oaks, basswood, white ash, and poplars because it grows well in places without direct sunlight. Additionally, it does well near trout lilies, bloodroot, mayapples, and spring beauties.
