Gothel used the flower to stay young for centuries and kidnap Rapunzel when it was absorbed into her, to use Rapunzel's hair and stay young forever.

the flower it's self is not evil, but Gothel used to for her own selfish desires and Rapunzel's hair having the flower's healing powers is why she wasn't allowed to leave the castle.
