(P) to 18″. Golden Seal. This native of the Northeast is well suited to the woodland garden. The palmately lobed leaves are extremely textural with a two-leafed flower stalk offering up an intriguing, solitary, yellowish green to greenish white, apetalous flower with prominent whitish stamens. Golden Seal has a thick yellow rhizome, hence the common name. However, the real treat is the inedible, scarlet red berries that sit atop the leaves and look like perfect raspberries. Partial shade. 3 & 7 & Δ
*Tip: If germination does not occur after 3-4 weeks, place seed pans in a cool location (about 40°) for 2-4 weeks
