Rhodiola rosea, also known as Artic root, Golden root, Rose root and King’s crown, is tonic adaptogen. Rhodiola has been used for thousands of years as a traditional medicine in China, Tibet, Russia, Central Asia and Scandinavia. In Ancient China, expeditions were made to Siberia in search of this “Golden root”. Siberians used it as a tea to promote long lives. Vikings and Sherpa used it to enhance their strength and endurance. It was named by Linnaeus, a Swedish botanist, in 1725. He prescribed it for headaches and hysteria. It has since become very popular in Russia.

Rhodiola is a perennial succulent that is part of the Sedum family. It is native to Europe, Asia and North America. It grows best in Zone 1-7 in a shade or part shade garden with a dry to moderately moist, well draining soil. It does well in a rock garden. It is drought tolerant. It grows to 10 inch high.

Rhodiola rosea root is harvested for medicinal use 3-5 years after planting. It is best harvested in late summer.
