General Information:
Fireweed is a resilient and vibrant plant, known for its striking pink-purple flowers that bloom in summer, often around early July in cooler climates. Thriving in recently disturbed or open areas, fireweed is a pioneer species, bringing life and color to landscapes. Its symmetrical four-petaled flowers and tall, willow-like leaves make it easily recognizable. In the Kootenays, our fireweed is wild-harvested with care, ensuring sustainability and preserving its natural potency.

Tips:
- Sweeten your tea with honey, stevia, or licorice root powder for added flavor.

The Glade Taught Me This
Every forest is irreplaceable. The Glade, a meadow on HooDoo Mountain where I learned to read the forest's language, was logged when I was young. I wildcraft now with that loss in my heart—taking only what I need, protecting what remains. 10% of every purchase supports the Canadian Ancient Forest Alliance. Read The Glade story →
