Arctium lappa ‘Great Burdock’ Edible & Botanical Root Seeds

Description

Grow a bold and useful biennial with a deep history. Great Burdock is known for its large, broad leaves and striking, globe-shaped burrs that cling to clothing and animal fur. In its first year, it forms a tasty, long taproot prized in certain culinary traditions. In the second year, it sends up a tall flower stalk. A dramatic architectural plant for the back of borders, edible landscapes, or naturalized areas.

Easy to grow and tolerant of many conditions, it is valued by gardeners for its unique form, edible root (when harvested young), and interesting seed dispersal mechanism.

    A Thoughtful Gift for Garden Lovers

    Finding the perfect gift for someone who loves gardening doesn’t have to be complicated. Seeds are more than just a present — they’re an experience. A promise of growth, color, and time spent outdoors doing what they love.

    Whether it’s a burst of flowers, a productive vegetable patch, or a greener lawn, carefully chosen seeds make a meaningful and lasting gift. They arrive with possibility, grow with care, and leave memories long after the season ends.

    For anyone who finds joy in planting and watching life unfold, this is a gift that truly keeps growing.
