Wild Licorice seeds

Wild licorice, a native North American plant, offers a unique and charming addition to any wildflower garden or naturalized landscape. This perennial legume features delicate spikes of pale yellow to white flowers, followed by distinctive, burr-like seed pods covered in hooked prickles. While not as intensely flavored as its cultivated cousin, the roots of wild licorice possess a subtle sweetness and have been used traditionally for medicinal and culinary purposes by Indigenous peoples.
 
Adaptable and hardy (down to 40º F) , wild licorice thrives in a variety of conditions, including dry, open meadows, prairies, and disturbed areas. Its deep roots make it drought-tolerant, while its nitrogen-fixing capabilities benefit surrounding plants. As an added bonus, wild licorice attracts pollinators like bees and butterflies, enhancing the overall biodiversity of your garden. Sow seeds in fall or early spring for a captivating display of wildflowers that will return year after year.
