We are pleased to be offering the Native American species of Calamus, a semi-aquatic plant whose root has been revered and utilized both medicinally and spiritually by Native people throughout North America for thousands of years. It was said to be wild cultivated along heavily used trade routes for accessibility during travel as chewing the root was known to increase Stamina and can also prevent motion sickness. There is more recent evidence of using Calamus root in the treatment of type 2 diabetes, diverse digestive complaints, respiratory issues, especially where the voice is compromised and as an insect repellant. Calamus requires partial to full sun and plenty of moisture with bog-like soil conditions to thrive. It has graceful Iris-like leaves and Catkin-like yellow-green flowers. It's distinctive fragrance has a spicy but sweet overtone, slightly citrus-like.The roots spread quickly and the plant will spread rapidly in moist conditions resulting in a generous herbal harvest. The FDA warns against chronic use of Calamus. It is your responsibility to do extensive research and consult with an experienced herbalist before taking any herb you are not familiar with. A lovely and useful addition to the herb garden if the right conditions are available. Full to part sun and moist, fertile soils. Hardy. Perennial. Zone 4.

We feel your pain about shipping costs but you will receive excellent, personal customer service and beautifully tended, certified, organic Herb Plants, grown with love and delivered as quickly as possible. Thank you for supporting a small family business!!

Occasionally, customers ask us about priority mail as a shipping option, but due to our extremely rural location, our tiny post office is simply not equipped to handle our shipping volume and it has been our experience that USPS is simply not as dependable for prompt and safe plant delivery.

We ship well established, healthy plants and we want them to look that way when they arrive at your doorstep and we truly believe that fast, efficient shipping is a worthwhile investment toward this goal.
