About
Goldenseal (Hydrastis canadensis), also called orangeroot or yellow puccoon, is a perennial herb in the buttercup family Ranunculaceae, native to North America. The stem is purplish and hairy above ground and yellow below ground where it connects to the yellow rhizome. It takes between 4 and 5 years for a plant to reach sexual maturity, i.e. the point at which it produces flowers. The second vegetative stage occurs during years two and three (and sometimes longer) and is characterized by the development of a single leaf and absence of a well developed stem. Plant in well-drained soil in a suitable position. Water during establishment.
