Yellowroot
Xanthorhiza simplicissima
Xanthorhiza simplicissima is a deciduous shrub that is native to eastern North America. It is commonly known as yellowroot or shittimwood and is prized for its ornamental value as well as its medicinal properties. The plant features clusters of small, yellow flowers in early spring, followed by fern-like foliage that turns a beautiful shade of yellow in the fall. It is an excellent choice for naturalizing in woodland settings or as a low maintenance shrub for gardens and borders. Additionally, yellowroot has been used in traditional medicine for its astringent and antiseptic properties.
