Minimum: 40+ Seeds

If you’ve ever dreamed of cultivating a plant that bridges ancient medicine, native beauty, and old-world flavor, Glycyrrhiza lepidota, our American Wild Licorice, is calling. This rare native herb is a quiet treasure among seed collectors, chefs seeking the unusual, and gardeners who crave more than just color in their landscape. Its roots carry a natural sweetness once beloved by Indigenous tribes and early settlers alike, offering a glimpse into a forgotten pantry of the wild.

A Native Heirloom with Hidden Depth

Wild Licorice doesn’t scream for attention, but once you grow it, it leaves a lasting impression. It forms an upright clump of finely divided foliage, with softly pointed leaves and delicate, pale lavender flowers in midsummer that quietly attract pollinators. This legume is naturally drought-tolerant and hardy down to USDA zone 3, thriving in poor soils where other plants might fail. Underground, its true gift waits: long, woody roots rich in glycyrrhizin, the compound that gives licorice its unmistakable sweet bite.

These are not just novelty roots, they’ve been used for generations as a natural sweetener, tea base, and soothing remedy for coughs, digestion, and inflammation. Wild Licorice roots have a soft earthiness, more subtle than commercial licorice candy, and pair beautifully with foraged teas, herbal tinctures, or even a splash in homemade syrups.

Why Grow Wild Licorice at Home?

  • Culinary Use: Harvest mature roots in fall, dry and steep into teas, chew fresh, or infuse into honey or vinegar.

  • Medicinal Tradition: Used by Native American healers for coughs, colds, and stomach issues.

  • Pollinator Support: Blooms attract native bees and beneficial insects.

  • Soil Helper: As a legume, it fixes nitrogen and improves soil fertility over time.

  • Low Maintenance: Thrives in dry meadows, prairie gardens, and tough corners of the yard.

A Plant with Deep Roots, in History and Your Garden

Wild Licorice is one of those plants you grow for the story as much as the harvest. Indigenous peoples, including the Lakota and Blackfoot, used its sweet roots as both food and medicine. Unlike imported licorice species (Glycyrrhiza glabra), G. lepidota is truly American, evolved on the Great Plains, well adapted to harsh climates, and steeped in heritage. In a permaculture setting, it plays well with prairie grasses, echinacea, bee balm, and other dryland companions.

Growing Tips from a Fellow Gardener

  • Start Indoors: Scarify the seeds gently with sandpaper and soak overnight before planting.

  • Timing: Start 4–6 weeks before last frost, or direct sow in late fall for natural stratification.

  • Spacing: Plant seedlings 12–18 inches apart in full sun.

  • Soil: Prefers sandy or loamy soil with good drainage. No need to fertilize, this plant thrives in lean conditions.

  • Watering: Once established, water sparingly. Overwatering can lead to root rot.

  • Harvest: Dig roots in fall of the second or third year for best flavor. Dry completely before use.

Cool, Fluffy, and Excellent Value
Color: Classic White, Size: Standard (Pack of 2)
I recently got the Utopia Bedding Queen Size Bed Pillows (set of 2), and they’ve quickly become my favorite pillows for a good night’s sleep. Right out of the package, they fluffed up nicely and feel soft yet supportive. The down alternative filling gives a plush, comfortable feel without being too firm or too flat, and the gusseted design adds extra support for back, stomach, or side sleeping. I’ve tried them in all positions, and they hold up well without collapsing overnight. Another big plus is that they stay cool while I sleep. Even during warmer nights, I don’t feel overheated, which makes a huge difference in comfort. The pillow covers are smooth and feel like hotel-quality fabric, giving the bed a clean, luxurious look. The only minor thing is that they may take a little time to reach full fluffiness after the first wash, but that’s normal for down alternative pillows. Overall, these are soft, supportive, and high-quality pillows at a great price. They’ve improved my sleep noticeably, and I’d definitely recommend them for anyone looking for a comfortable, versatile pillow set

Too firm
Color: Classic White, Size: King (Pack of 2)
These pillows are good quality but are firm. They also are 90% feathers, which makes them feel “crunchy”
