Bigseed Biscuitroot

Bigseed Biscuitroot (Lomatium macrocarpum) is a perennial herb found in the wild across North America, from Alberta and British Columbia to California and Utah. Native to much of western Canada and the northern United States, this plant thrives in various habitats including dry, moist, light sandy, medium, and heavy clay soils. Known for its edible roots and seeds, Bigseed Biscuitroot can grow up to 0.5 meters tall and prefers full sun with a soil pH ranging from 6 to 8.5. Its distinctive feature is the large seed pod, which sets it apart in the Lomatium genus.
