TOPIC: Learn more about how to plant False Unicorn

I would like to learn more about how to plant False Unicorn. Thank you.

what is false unicorn???

Here in Middle TN we call it Star Root.

I dig some each year - usually find some here and there while hunting ginseng - but it usually grows a bit higher on the hill than ginseng does but at times you will find it in similar location that ginseng likes.

I found a pic of a nice plant (in bloom) online and included below...

I have never seen one in bloom. I expect they do that in spring. In the fall when hunting ginseng there is no flower spike on it at all.

I ended up with just a few ounces of it last season and also had some goldenseal (yellow root) and bloodroot as well. I don't really hunt those - but while hunting seng if I find the others I will harvest them too.

here is possibly a more realistic picture of what false unicorn will look like in the wild, i am almost sure that the previous photo is being grown in a greenhouse and i have never seen a plant in the wild that looks as full as that 1 does.
