General Information:
Fireweed, also called willowherb in some places, is a wide-ranging plant: it grows circumglobally and from latitudes of 25-70 degrees North and up to 15,000 feet high in the Himalayas. This adaptable plant is especially easy to recognize if you’ve gotten used to the distant view of a field of lupines—you’ll notice a patch of flower spikes, similar in overall shape to lupines, but with a particular penchant for pink rather than the spectrum of purples, pinks, whites, and sometimes reds that lupines offer. Up close, however, the flowers themselves are very different: where lupines sport the traditional “banner, wings, and keel” petal layout diagnostic of its pea family brethren, fireweed flowers sport a collection of four symmetrical petals in its flowerheads, revealing its kinship with the evening primrose. Fireweed emerges quickly in areas recently cleared by a machine or scorched with fire, thus giving this plant its name. It also begins to flower right around the 4th of July in Downeast Maine, giving a silent blast of colorful exuberance in celebration of its wild independence!
How to use:
Hot Infusion:
The basic method for dried herbs and flower is, take 2-3 tablespoons of dried herb in a cup of teapot. Pour hot water over it and cover it with lid for 10-30 minutes. Hot water is needed to draw out the antioxidants, enzymes, vitamins, flavonoids, and volatile oils from the botanicals. Strain and squeeze out as much as liquid as possible and enjoy!
