Yellowroot - Xanthorhiza simplicissima Size:1 Gallon larval host for Spring AzureDespite its diminutive size, Yellowroot is actually a shrub! With its suckering habit and adaptability, it is a perfect plant for erosion prone slopes and other tough spots. In spring, Yellowroot blooms with small but lovely purplish flowers arranged in fan like panicles, which give way to star shaped fruits in summer.
