Journey through haunted woodlands and cursed clearings to uncover tales of the strange and magical plants that don’t simply live or die…they lurk.
From ancient myths to old wives’ tales, Wicked Roots reveals the surprising lives of plants through the lens of legend and mystery.

Mandrake: associated with magic, screaming roots, and protection spells

Foxglove: a beautiful but toxic plant tied to fairies, witches, and hidden realms
And more…
