Grow one of Alaska's most iconic native plants with this Devil's Club live root section (Oplopanax horridus). Carefully wild harvested from Alaska, these root pieces are selected from the actively growing root tips, ideal for propagation while allowing the parent plant to continue growing naturally.

A close relative of ginseng, Devil's Club is a slow-growing woodland perennial known for its dramatic appearance, large leaves, and strong presence in cool northern forests. Native to Alaska and the Pacific Northwest, it thrives in moist, shaded environments with rich organic soil and consistent moisture.

This listing includes one live dormant root section approximately 6 inches in length, ready for planting and propagation. Devil's Club performs best in cool, wet forest-like conditions. Larger orders may include larger root pieces depending on shipping space.
