Discover the authentic Wild Licorice, scientifically known as Glycyrrhiza lepidota, also referred to as American Licorice. Unlike its European counterpart used in commercial licorice candy, this native North American variety offers a distinct licorice flavor. Flourishing in full sun and various soil conditions, it thrives in fields, prairies, and roadsides. With stems adorned in fine, sticky hairs, it produces white to cream alfalfa-like flowers, maturing into large green seed pods that transform into dark brown by autumn, providing visual interest throughout winter. Renowned for its expansive rhizome-root system, it facilitates the formation of colonies. Moreover, serving as the host plant for the Silver-Spotted Skipper, it contributes to ecological balance. As a legume species, it fosters beneficial rhizobia bacteria, aiding in nitrogen fixation, thereby enhancing native plant community vitality.
