Another one of those plants I learned about these past four years that is growing in my yard I have seen several videos about how to use the plant and as a gardener found the information useful have not as of yet made this … curious about staining clothes but you answered this in the video lol will certainly be making some of this soon and give it a try … thanks again

[@wildrootlife]

Definitely give it a try. It’s so easy to make. Best!

I’ve just discovered beauty berry growing on our new property. I’d never heard of till a few months ago. Definitely look forward to trying this out! Thanks for sharing

[@wildrootlife]

Thank you for watching! I didn't know Beauty Berry grew that far North. Very cool.

[@ShorebillySanctuary]

@@wildrootlife I didn’t think it grew here either but I’m pleasantly surprised

[@stacystepp7914]

I just realized this weekend that beauty berry leaves could be turned into repellent. I have mine soaking in alcohol now. Great idea to put glycerin in it. I'll sure be doing that. Nice video:)

[@wildrootlife]

Thank you and thanks for watching.

This is great! I just learned about this plant this summer and also discovered one growing in my neighborhood near a creek! The mosquitos tear me UP every season so I’m always looking for help. This is so great! I will go collect leaves tomorrow! I also learned this summer that lemon balm helps with that too. I rubbed some on my arms 3 separate times I went out and no bites. I’m guessing you could make a tincture of both these beauty berry leaves AND lemon balm together? 🤷🏻‍♀️ thanks for sharing!!

[@wildrootlife]

That’s awesome and yes, i would absolutely experiment with throwing in some lemon balm leaves. Sounds like a great combo.

I’ve seen this plant in Texas on my walks. I’m going to harvest some leaves to make this. Question: how long is the shelf life last? I’m hoping till the end of next summer 😊

[@wildrootlife]

This will definitely last a year, if not longer due to the alcohol content.
