Golden Seal is a native perennial in the buttercup family. It grows 6 to 12 inches tall with a hairy stalk and toothed, lobed leaves. Flowers bloom from late May to June, and are without petals. Instead, they produce a display of many greenish-white stamens that are followed by raspberry-like inedible fruits. They require rich moist, organic soil in shade to part.
