Lomatium ambiguum
zones 2-6
35 seeds
Wyeth’s Biscuitroot belongs to the very large, and ever-expanding, Lomatium family. These plants are all edible and medicinal to varying extents, and have been used by native tribes for centuries.
This particular Lomatium is a perennial that develops a deep taproot. Cheerful umbels of bright yellow flowers appear in spring, and are one of the earliest native plants to set seed. While some Lomatium species grow rather tall and leggy, Wyeth’s Biscuitroot stays compact, generally under 12” in height. The leaves are deeply divided and somewhat grass-like in appearance.
NOTE: in an effort to keep the seed capsules whole, they are shipped in a small box to avoid crushing by postal processing. This results in an increased shipping charge, reflected in the seed cost.

Wyeth’s Biscuitroot, like all Lomatiums, prefers a dry, rocky soil, preferably with a sunny aspect that will warm up quickly in spring. Scatter seed on prepared ground in fall and seeds will sprout the following spring.
