Herbaceous perennial 1–2′ tall that spreads by underground stems. Annual compound leaves, globular clusters of tiny white flowers followed by small purplish berries that have a spicy, tart flavor. Native to the woodland understory of eastern North America. Ginseng relative that is considered a panacea by the Cherokee and other tribes. A mildly stimulating adaptogen. The subterranean stems and roots have a wonderful scent and flavor. A key ingredient in the original root beers. A hardy, shade tolerant plant. Z4aScroll down the page or search for Sarsaparilla.
