Licorice Fern 100 Plants. Edible Organic - $50 - (Florence, OR)

If you have licorice fern in your yard you might forget it’s there until the soft rains of autumn release it from its dormancy. Then—when you least expect it—bright green, featherlike fronds (to about 12 inches) gradually appear to help brighten the landscape all winter long. Although licorice fern may stay evergreen where it is well established, out of harsh sunlight, and receives some moisture in the form of mist or from a watering can, it is typically a summer deciduous plant. It is a primary producer for other inhabitants within the ecosystem, including insects, birds, and other animals.Its botanical name, Polypodium glycyrrhiza, means “many footed” and “sweet root,” and refers to creeping rhizomes that taste like licorice. Native Americans used the rhizome to sweeten foods and unpalatable medicines, but they also used it as medicine itself, to treat sore throats and upper respiratory infections. Modern herbalists use it for similar purposes.Free pick up and combine shipping is always available. I also refund on shipping if I find a cheaper service.
