Description

The listing, Burdock, 10 burr seeds, herbal, wildcrafted has ended.

Burdock, an herb with prickly seeds also known as Cocklebur, is a common wild plant. First year plants have large leaves that resemble Elephant ears but lay prostrate on the ground (basal leaves). Do not confuse with Rhubarb, whose leaves are poisonous.
In the second year, Burdock sends up a stem and boasts round pink and white or purple flowers in early summer, then ripens into prickly balls up to an inch in diameter.

Hi there clarksp! I just thought this would help in knowing the uses of this herbal plant-- It says online that this herb is good for purifying the blood and that it stimulates the immune system.However, it does say that it should be avoided by diabetics.Thanks for puttingb this up.

busterhoudini, glad that you like. That is a good question about diabetics. Not being a medical person, I cannot answer this. One must always use caution and always ask your doctor if you are on meds before using herbals.

Beautiful elephant ear type foliage and roots are edible too.
