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.

3 Star Read,
Format: Kindle
This book wasn't bad, but wasn't my cup of tea. It's highly disappointing because the storyline is so original. There is no real conflict or resolution, so the entire thing feels flat. As a lover of omegaverse books, I know there is a ton of variety out there, and ov is really up to the author. But this one is weird. Omegas have multiple scent glands all over their bodies and go into week long heats every month. Alphas have knots in the middle of their shaft instead of the base, and the knot doesn't always swell, no explanation of when or why. It doesn't engage at all when the mouth is in play. I also didn't enjoy the author's writing style. Each paragraph is only 1 or 2 sentences long, and the entire book reads very stacato. The conversations are stiff and unnatural feeling. Everything is very repetitive, both in word choice and in thought. The same thing is repeated 3 or 4 times over a single page, multiple times over. I ended up doing so much skimming. The first 50% of the book is all slow burn, and the last 50% is almost straight mediocre spice. This wouldn't have been all bad if the grammar and spelling errors didn't start at the exact same time. Tongue is repeatedly misspelled in the middle of the spice.

Cozy Omegaverse
Format: Kindle
This is the true definition of Cozy Omegaverse. LA wedding coordinator meets her pack at the location for a couple’s destination wedding. Low angst because they are scent matched high heat with heats and knots. Everything you love about this genre with very little anxiety. Simply a fun experience to read and a book I will comeback to when I’m in a slump. I simply love reading this book

Cute Omegaverse story
Format: Kindle
3.75 stars and 2 for spice. Adorable Omegaverse story about a wedding planner who has to go to a small town to plan a wedding for a movie star. While there, she meets her pack. This covers her struggles of not living there but trying to keep her relationship going with her 3 Alphas. It's a quick read and cute, so I recommend it for people who like light-hearted RH stories.

real good
Format: Kindle
This was a solid read for the ABO universe. The characters are great. The smut scenes were well written. And the town is so cute I want to go there. It didn’t have much character development it just felt like I was getting to the characters as they were getting to know each other.

So sweet
Format: Kindle
It’s so unexpectedly sweet that it sneaks up on you. Each character is so unique and charming. I love the openness and honesty among their pack. It really blows me away how wonderful this omegaverse trope plays out. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.
