Open-pollinated. Perennial to Zone 3. Tolerance of poor conditions, fast growth habit via rhizomatous roots, and capacity to self-sow make snakeroot a great plant for disrupted soils. It might seem to be taking over at first, but once soil improves it’ll settle down and make way for other plants. Attracts late-season pollinators with multiple flat-topped fuzzy clusters of small pure white disk flowers held above dark green heart-shaped coarsely toothed, slightly hairy foliage. Makes nice filler for bouquets. Blooms August through October, attracting multiple species of bees, moths and butterflies. Thrives in part sun, tolerates shade. Soil adaptable. Surface sow outdoors in fall or winter, or provide at least 60 days cold stratification. The entire plant is toxic to mammals; not a good choice around pastures. 5230 seeds/g. ①
