In the frosty heights of the Siberian Altai Mountains and the long, dark winters of Scandinavia, Rhodiola Rosea thrives. This plant species of the genus Rhodiola from the family Crassulaceae is known for its rose-like scent and typically reaches a height of 5 to 20 centimeters, sometimes even up to 35 centimeters. The above-ground stems are thick, fleshy, and bare. Female petals are yellow and turn a red-orange color as they wither, while male flowers shine in purple. Rhodiola is extremely resilient to cold and darkness, as it can store water like a succulent, allowing it to thrive even in dry locations. Due to its valuable plant compounds such as Rosavin and Salidroside, Rhodiola is referred to as the "Golden Root" in Siberian and Russian tradition.
