Arctium lappa

A variety from Okinawa, Japan and an integral part of the island’s healthful cuisine. Tasty tap roots known for their high vitamin and mineral content and healing properties. Burdock is a biennial, and sometimes a short-lived perennial, but should be grown as an annual and harvested in the fall of their first year to avoid spread of seed. The original inspiration behind Velcro, sticky Burdock seeds spread widely in their second year so take care when harvesting roots! Healthful provisions and bountiful medicine making await you!
