Grow a cornerstone of traditional herbalism with our heirloom Burdock seeds. This impressive biennial is famous for its long, deep taproot, which is highly valued both as a delicious root vegetable and for its use in wellness practices. The plant itself is bold and architectural, with huge, rhubarb-like leaves and unique, thistle-like purple flowers that later form the burrs the plant is named for. Easy to grow and full of history, Burdock is a fantastic addition to any herb or vegetable garden.
