Dormant live roots ordered now will ship fall of 2025
Stoneroot Live Root (Collinsonia canadensis), organic
Price range: $7.00 through $36.00
Family: Lamiacea
Hardy to Zones 4 to 8
(Stone Root, Richweed) Sturdy, handsome broad-leaved plant bears bright panicles of yellow flowers that smell like lemons. Tincture of the fresh, stone-hard root helps shrink varicosities—general vascular tonic of great utility. Stoneroot likes moist soils in the dappled shade of woodland or shade garden. And, the bees love stone root, it provides some of the best nectar available in the forest understory. Cultivation: Upon receipt, plant the roots 2 inches deep in the mineral soil and cover with mulch. A lot of people will have trouble determining which end is up so when possible we leave a piece of the old stem attached, and this should be oriented pointing up. That will help. Plant in fall for emergence in spring. these are large, robust, and extremely beautiful. Enjoy.
Live root certified organically grown

The Stoneroot that I got some years back from you is still thriving, even more so since I moved to a new location and it shares a deep bed with several other herbs. In fact, since replanting it here in May, it’s gotten much fuller and spreading with lots of flowers, very vigorous, and bees love it. I’m happy that it’s so happy!

Hi George, Thanks for contacting us. We can’t ship live roots or plants to Canada, they won’t make it past the border. I’m not sure if stoneroot seeds are sold out for the year or not–you might check that. Richo

Question
JD (verified owner) –
Is this plant likely to be of interest to critters, great and small?
Or should I plant it within the confines of my fenced yard which will remedy at least part of the situation?

hi jd, stoneroot is deer and rabbit resistant. i don’t think they like the lemony leaves. i’ve never had a problem with it and have grown it in fenced and also wild areas. richo
