Snakeroot is a rare wildflower with currently untapped garden potential. This native plant a history of medicinal uses dating back to Native Americans. The root is still currently sold for herbal remedies throughout the world. For gardens, it’s a short flower at only about 1ft tall and blooms in May and June.
