Feature

Blue Cohosh flourishes in the rich, moist woodland areas. The name "Cohosh" is derived from the Algonquin term for this plant, which many Native American tribes used for medicinal purposes. Its thick root was considered especially helpful for women, though it has proven extremely dangerous in pregnancy and is no longer commonly used internally. Its bright blue berries make this plant useful for ornamental purposes.
