White Snakeroot may be
easily confused with:
- Boneset
Boneset leaves fuse distinctively around the stem.
- White-Bracted Thoroughwort
White snakeroot as a broad, nearly heart-shaped leaf, while white thoroughwort has a more lance-shaped leaf.
We started out as wildflowers from the bicycle trails of western Pennsylvania, but we've
grown!
