Rhodiola rosea is a perennial succulent plant . There are many common names for this versatile and globally available herb, including Golden Root, Arctic Root, King’s Crown, and Roseroot, but they all describe the same plant. You can typically find this small, hardy perennial in cold regions, including Siberia, the Arctic, as well as northern parts of Asia, North America, Europe, and the UK. You can identify these plants by several stems growing from the same root, topped by small flowers of yellowish-white, and the plants commonly grow in cliffs or rocky sea regions. Rhodiola rosea has been used for thousands of years in certain traditional medicine treatments due to the high concentration of organic compounds, such as phenols, alkaloids, flavonoids, and quinones.
There has been a wide variety of research studies conducted on the roots of these plants, as they are where most of the nutrients can be found. These roots have been sought out because they can be dried, powdered, and made into a very beneficial tea, which has been used in Indian and Chinese traditional medicines for centuries. It was initially popularized for its impact on stress and anxiety, but subsequent research has identified a number of other health concerns that can be treated with this versatile herb. You can also find Rhodiola rosea supplements in many herbal shops, which is the most popular way of consuming this herb in western cultures. Now, let’s take a closer look at the many health benefits of Rhodiola rosea. 1. Stress Relief The calming effects of Rhodiola rosea tea have been known for thousands of years, and from the stress of life in rural China to the depression-inducing weather of Siberia, this particular herbal tea has been soothing and calming people for generations. The chemical constituents found in Rhodiola rosea can affect the hormonal levels of the body and induce relaxation. 2. Depression One of the side effects of Rhodiola rosea is an increase in energy levels, and for those people suffering from fatigue-induced depression, this herbal approach can be life-changing. For people pursuing alternative medicine solutions to their depressive symptoms, Rhodiola rosea tea can be extremely effective. Some of the organic compounds in this widely available herb are considered adaptogenic, which means that it can actually cause long-lasting effects on our hormonal and metabolic states. In other words, rather than treating certain forms of depression and chronic stress, it can actually cure them! In fact, the proven usefulness of Rhodiola rosea extract has led it to be combined with numerous antidepressants on the market, and the results have been very encouraging. 3. Cognitive Abilities The two health benefits listed above certainly have an effect on the brain and hormone levels that affect mood, but the actual health of the brain is another major concern in modern medicine. Research has shown that Rhodiola rosea can have an effect on numerous aspects of cognitive health, including memory and concentration. For aging populations suffering through the onset of dementia or Alzheimer’s, Rhodiola rosea tea can become a daily treatment to boost cognition and memory, thereby keeping your faculties intact for longer. 4. Weight Loss Efforts Recent research has shown that using Rhodiola rosea extracts and teas for weight loss efforts can be highly effective. The release of adipose tissue is one of the keys to losing weight, and while researchers have been looking for a natural product containing the essential enzymes to do that, Golden Root has been under their nose the whole time. Essentially, Rhodiola rosea speeds up the fat-burning cells in your body, and when combined with exercise, this can seriously speed up your slim down results. 5. Energy Boost Some of the active compounds found in Rhodiola rosea have been directly linked with increasing metabolism and stimulating greater circulation of blood and oxygen within the body. When organ systems receive more oxygen, they function more efficiently, particularly when muscles, nerve cells, and the brain receive the benefit of that oxygen boost! This has even been relied on by professional athletes in Asia and Russia as a safe and legal energy enhancer.
6. Heart Health One of the most dangerous substances for our body is actually already inside of us – stress hormones. By reducing the amount of corticosteroids and catecholamines released by the body, we are able to reduce the effects of those hormones on all of our organ systems, including the heart. Excess stress hormones can cause higher blood pressure, heart disease, and dangerous levels of potassium. Research has also shown that Rhodiola rosea can regulate the heartbeat and eliminate heart arrhythmia, as well as a reduction in the chances of atherosclerosis, heart attacks, and strokes. 7. Cancer Prevention By increasing the body’s natural resistance to toxins, in conjunction with the high concentration of antioxidants found in the roots of Rhodiola rosea, this herb has become closely linked to preventing and treating certain types of cancer. Anti-tumor activity is just as important as antioxidant effects, and this herb boasts both of those. While research into the range of cancers that can be impacted remains ongoing, the early results are very encouraging, primarily with bladder cancer. 8. Immune System In addition to all of the other impressive health benefits of Rhodiola rosea, it also has a variety of effects on the immune system. This herb can stimulate the production of NK cells in the stomach and spleen, thereby improving the immune response and establishing homeostasis within the body.
9. Sexual Health In some traditional and modern applications, Rhodiola rosea has also been prescribed for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. This can lead to increased fertility, boosted libido, and a generally healthier sex life, which comes with its own range of psychological, emotional, and physical health. Warning: Side effects are quite rare following the use of Rhodiola rosea, but when they do occur, they are typically mild and include insomnia, irritability, chest tightness, and increased blood pressure. As always, before adding a new herbal element to your health regimen, you should consult a trained medical professional, and always get your herbal supplements from a trusted herbalist.

Scientific Name Hypericum perforatum L.
Common Names Common St. John’s Wort, St. John’s Wort, Goatweed, Klamath Weed, Klamathweed, Perforate St. John’s Wort, Racecourseweed, Tipton’s Weed, Tiptonweed, Rosin Rose, Chase-Devil Synonyms Hypericum assurgens, Hypericum deidesheimense, Hypericum lineolatum, Hypericum marylandicum Scientific Classification Family: Hypericaceae Genus: Hypericum
Flower Color: Yellow Bloom Time: Between late spring and early to mid summer Description Hypericum perforatum has erect stems which can grow up to 100 inches (2.5 m) of height. Leaves are small, the size of up to 1.6 inches (4 cm), egg-shaped, opposite and stemless, full of small and translucent dots or glands filled with essential oils. The flowers appear in broad cymes at the ends of the upper branches, between late spring and early to mid summer.
How to Grow and Care If you live in USDA plant hardiness zones 5 or 6 to 10 and have a partially shaded site, you can probably grow St. John’s Wort. The plant isn’t particular about the soil type. It grows well in sand, clay, rocky soil or loam, and tolerates acidic to slightly alkaline pH. St. John’s Wort adapts to both moist and dry soil, and even tolerates occasional flooding. It also withstands drought but grows best with irrigation during prolonged dry spells. You won’t find a plant that will thrive in more situations. Growing St. John’s Wort herb in a location with too much sun can lead to leaf scorch, while too much shade reduces the number of flowers. The best location is one with bright morning sunlight and a little shade in the hottest part of the afternoon. If your soil isn’t particularly fertile, prepare the bed before transplanting. Spread about 2 inches (5 cm) of compost or rotted manure over the area and dig it in to a depth of at least 8 inches (20 cm). Transplant the shrubs into the garden, setting them at the height at which they grew in their containers. They grow only 1 to 3 feet (30 to 90 cm) tall with a spread of 1.5 to 2 feet (45 to 60 cm), so space them 2 to 3 feet (60 to 90 cm) apart. Water slowly and deeply after planting and keep the soil moist until the transplants are well-established. Origin Native to temperate and subtropical regions of Europe, Turkey, Ukraine, Russia, Middle East, India, and China.

Scientific Name Hoya macgillivrayi F. M. Bailey
Synonyms Hypericum assurgens, Hypericum deidesheimense, Hypericum lineolatum, Hypericum marylandicum Scientific Classification Family: Apocynaceae Subfamily: Asclepiadoideae Tribe: Marsdenieae Genus: Hoya
Flower Color: Dark burgundy Bloom Time: Mid spring to early summer Description Hoya macgillivrayi is a fast-growing root climber and twiner with thick, oval, pointed leaves which are light green and set opposite each other on the twining stems. The flowers are up to 2.4 inches (6 cm) wide on long stalks and are borne in umbels of 6 to 10 flowers that are each connected at a central axis. Each flower is a dark burgundy color with five sepals and five petals. The stamen are enclosed in the corona. The fruit produced are two pairs of follicles that are 10 inches (25 cm) long from which a flat seed is produced that is distributed by the wind.
How to Grow and Care Hoya plants don’t ask for much, beyond the well-draining soil and the warm humid conditions that many tropical flowers crave. They don’t like wet feet or heavy soil, and as many grow as epiphytes in nature (similar to bromeliads and orchids). Give them at least a half day of sunshine, and bring them indoors when temperatures drop below 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). When your Hoyas finishes blooming, leave the flower stalk, as it may produce new flowers. Removing the stalk forces the plant to produce a new stalk, which delays blooming and wastes the plant’s energy. They are light feeders, and a monthly drink of compost tea or dilute fish emulsion provides all the nutrition these tropicals need. Hoyas like the security of a snug pot, and plants that are a bit root bound will flower more prolifically than those that are swimming around in a giant pot. Origin Native to northeastern Australia.

Scientific Name Hibiscus sabdariffa L.
Common Names Roselle Synonyms Abelmoschus cruentus, Furcaria sabdariffa, Hibiscus acetosus, Hibiscus cruentus, Hibiscus fraternus, Hibiscus gossypifolius, Hibiscus palmatilobus, Hibiscus sanguineus, Sabdariffa rubra Scientific Classification Family: Malvaceae Tribe: Hibisceae Genus: Hibiscus
Flower Color: White to pale yellow Bloom Time: Summer Description Hibiscus sabdariffa is an annual or perennial herb or woody-based subshrub, growing up to 8 feet (2.4 m) tall. The leaves are deeply 3- to 5-lobed, up to 6 inches (15 cm) long, arranged alternately on the stems. The flowers are up to 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter, white to pale yellow with a dark red spot at the base of each petal, and have a stout fleshy calyx at the base, up to 0.8 inch (2 cm) wide, enlarging up to 1.4 inches (3.5 cm), fleshy and bright red as the fruit matures. They take about 6 months to mature.
How to Grow and Care Hibiscus should be moved outside in the summer, then back inside during the winter. Tips for a successful transition include: Trim the plant hard before moving it inside for the winter. It will go into near dormancy until late winter; After you trim it, but before you bring it in, treat it thoroughly for insects. Neem oil and liquid detergent work well, or use a hose to blast off insects; Once inside, don’t overwater, but provide as much humidity as possible, including daily mistings. Don’t expose to blowing air from vents; When the weather warms to above 50ºF (10ºC) at night, move it back outside and acclimate slowly. Repot as necessary, yearly or biannually. Hibiscus will grow into trees in their native habitats, but this may be unwieldy in a home setting. There’s also some benefit to keeping the Hibiscus in a relatively smaller pot, as it will make for easier pruning and moving. Failure to repot these plants often can leave them in soil without adequate nutrients for their survival, and repotting will often spur on growth if you’re finding that your Hibiscus plants seem to have stalled out. Watch out for falling leaves or other signs of stress. Origin Native to West Africa.

Scientific Name Heuchera maxima Greene
Common Names Island Alum Root, Channel Islands Coral Bells, Jill of the Rocks Scientific Classification Family: Saxifragaceae Genus: Heuchera
Flower Color: White or pink Bloom Time: Spring Description Heuchera maxima is a rhizomatous perennial up to 3 feet (90 cm) tall, growing a broad patch of large, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, rounded, multilobed, dark green leaves with long petioles and a fringe of hairs along the edges. It produces an erect inflorescence up to 2 feet (60 cm) tall, with many clusters of hairy, glandular flowers. Each flower is rounded with fleshy white or pink lobes and tiny petals curling away from the center. The protruding stamens are tipped with large anthers.
How to Grow and Care Generally considered easy to grow and require little routine maintenance. To encourage continuous flowering or repeat bloom, deadhead the spent flower spikes as needed. Mulching during the summer months will help keep the soil moist and prevent injury to the shallow root system from heat. Coral Bells can be divided every 3 to 4 years if they lose vigor or when the crown gets too large. Coral Bells prefer to be planted in locations with a fertile, moist, well-drained soil. They particularly do not perform well in locations with poor drainage during the winter months. Most Heuchera cultivars will grow more vigorously and have the best leaf coloration when they are planted in locations with partial shade, particularly in the afternoon. Purple leafed cultivars can tolerate more direct sun; in general the darker the purple coloration the more exposure to sun they can tolerate. Conversely, the amber and gold leafed cultivars are less sun tolerant; the more yellow the leaf coloration, the less tolerant to sun they are. In locations with full sun or full shade, most cultivars will usually survive, but they will be smaller and not look as lively. Origin It is endemic to the four northern Channel Islands of California, within Channel Islands National Park. It grows on canyon cliffs in coastal sage scrub habitats.

Scientific Name Helleborus niger L.
Common Names Christmas Rose, Black Hellebore, Black Helleborus Scientific Classification Family: Ranunculaceae Subfamily: Ranunculoideae Tribe: Helleboreae Genus: Helleborus
Flower Color: White Bloom Time: Midwinter to early spring Description Helleborus niger is an evergreen perennial, up to 12 inches (30 cm) tall, with dark green, leathery, pedate leaves carried on stems. The flowers are large and flat, white, or occasionally pink, up to 3 inches (7.5 cm) wide, borne on short stems from midwinter to early spring.
How to Grow and Care When planting from seed or division, place the Hellebore into well-draining, organic soil in a filtered sun or shady location. The Hellebore plant will return for many years; make sure the space will accommodate growth and has proper sunlight. Hellebores need no more than a few hours of dappled light and grow successfully in shady areas. Plant the Hellebore under deciduous trees or scattered through a woodland garden or shaded natural area. Soaking the soil in which the Hellebore is growing helps the Hellebore plant to look its best. Hellebore care includes removal of older leaves when they appear damaged. Care for Hellebores should also include careful fertilization. Too much nitrogen may result in lush foliage and a shortage of blooms. Plant Hellebore seeds in the fall. A 60-day moist chilling period is needed when planting seeds of the Hellebore plant. Planting seed in fall allows this to happen naturally in areas with cold winters. Wait three to four years for blooms on young plants grown from seed. Divide overgrown clumps in spring, after flowering or in autumn. Origin Native to southern Europe and Asia.
