Spikenard (Aralia racemosa)
This species seed needs to remain refrigerated until sowing. Seed will be fine in the time of transit, but please return it to the fridge upon receiving it, or sow it immediately if in late fall or winter.
Spikenard (Aralia racemosa)
While Spikenard is a popular plant among humans because it is entirely edible and medicinal, it is even more popular among the many native pollinator species that are drawn to its tiny masses of flowers, as well as the predators who are drawn to it because of the dependable flurry of activity.
If you have this beautiful and delicious herbaceous perennial in your native shade garden you already know how attractive it is.
If you don't have it, it may be time to consider adding it to your shady spaces. It is long lived, dies back to the ground each year, and once established will get to around 3-4 feet wide and tall! Take consideration before you plant it, because once you put it in ground, it is not receptive to being moved.
Spikenard is an excellent plant that serves as a reliable barometer or bellwether for the diversity and health of your local ecosystem — simply by observing which insects and pollinators visit it each season. The observant will notice a gradual, collective increase in the variety of visitors whenever Spikenard is allowed to persist and spread. The Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta) is one of the many species regularly hosted by Spikenard (Aralia racemosa).
