Xanthorhiza simplicissima
(Yellowroot)
Yellowroot is a native, spreading groundcover that performs well in moist, shaded woodland gardens. Bright green, finely divided foliage emerges in spring, while small maroon-purple flowers appear just before the leaves unfold.
In fall, the foliage develops shades of red, orange, yellow, and purple, extending its seasonal interest. Its woody stems contain yellow inner bark that was historically used as a natural dye.
