Wild Sarsparilla (Aralia nudicaulis)
Wild Sarsparilla grows in woodlands and on woodland edges in soil that contains organic matter and stays moderately moist.
Leaves emerge a dark reddish color in the spring. The leaves are compound with 3-7 leaflets. The leaves fully fill out and turn green. Plants grow to 12-18 inches tall. Flower stalks then emerge and bloom in late spring underneath the leaves. Successful pollination means the formation of dark purple berries which will benefit small mammals and some birds.
Wild Sarsparilla is in the same family as Ginseng and in the same genus as Spikenard.
