However, there are some commercial nurseries that have been successful propagating it at scale and the plants I offer are nursery-grown. It is important to support growers who are farming this valuable medicinal versus wild-collecting it. In its native range, Goldenseal's survival is also challenged by mountain-top removal mining, which decimates the existing ecosystem in which it lives. Goldenseal has been used medicinally and also as a dye. It is potentially toxic and pregnant women should not ingest this plant. It is often found growing with \u003cem\u003eJeffersonia diphylla\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eDicentra canadensis \u003c\/em\u003eand all three planted together would make a lovely woodland ground cover. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSource:\u003c\/strong\u003e Native Wildflowers Nursery\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eImage credits:\u003c\/strong\u003e both images are from Wikimedia Commons\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Honey Petal Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53079953572147,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0910\/6115\/8195\/files\/512px-Goldenseal_plant_with_one_white_flower_hydrastis_canadensis.jpg?v=1772026340","url":"https:\/\/honeypetalplants.com\/products\/hydrastis-canadensis-goldenseal","provider":"Honey Petal Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
