Glycyrrhiza glabra is a perennial plant with a woody base that can grow up to 1.2 meters in height. Its upright stems support elongated leaves, which can reach lengths of 20 centimeters and are composed of several pairs of opposite leaflets. In late summer, the plant produces loose, upright flower spikes that showcase pale blue to violet blooms. The roots, which yield liquorice, are ideally harvested in the autumn. This species can serve as a unique addition to wild gardens or informal borders.
