Yampa

Yampa (Perideridia gairdneri) is a perennial herb found in the native ranges of Alberta, British Columbia, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, Nevada, Oregon, and parts of Wyoming and Utah. This plant thrives in various habitats across its range, from dry to moist conditions and can tolerate light sandy, medium, or clay soils with a pH between 6 and 7.5. Known for both its edible and ornamental qualities, yampa features distinctive leaves and roots that are often harvested. It prefers full sun to partial shade and can grow up to 1.2 meters tall, making it an interesting addition to gardens where space is available.
