The Native Plant Store can Now be Found Here

  • This page will remain accessible as a library page until I have all the species moved to the new page and all the quirks worked out in the new software so it can function as a searchable library.
  • Please see the Using the Plant Library  page  for some tips on how to make the most of the information in this existing library to select species for creating a healthy native plant community suited to the conditions of your site.

Osmorhiza longistylis, Aniseroot

Osmorhiza longistylis 

Aniseroot

  • Average to high moisture soils
  • Partial to full shade
  • 24” tall, 18” to 24” wide
  • Late spring blooms
  • Ontario native, Thrives in Woodland and Forest Ecosystems

New to me, grown from seeds from Prairie Moon Nursery https://www.prairiemoon.com/osmorhiza-longistylis-anise-root 

A lacy, spring blooming species for partially to fully shaded gardens and ecosystems. The anise scent, and flavour, suggested int heir common name extends to their foliage, which is edible and can be used as a flavouring or nibbled on its own.

Please check out the Prairie Moon listing at the link above for more details.
