Ashwagandha OG - live plants
Withonia somnifera
These greenhouse grown Ashwagandha seedlings are available in 4 inch pots. Available for pick up only.
In the Garden
Grows best in zones 6+. Full Sun. Rich, well-drained soil. Like a tomato, it requires irrigation under cultivation. This tropical perennial may be grown as an annual from seed, and it may self-seed in zones 6+. In the northeast, plant it in the ground around Summer Solstice. It grows into a 5 feet tall shrub.
Harvest roots after the berries turn red. Roots are dug easily in the fall.
In the Apothecary
Chop with pruning shears before drying because dried Ashwagandha is incredibly hard. Make an extract of fresh or dried root in alcohol. Or a water or milk infusion of dried root. Offers adrenal, immune & nervous system support.
PICK-UP ONLY:

A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown- your baby seedlings will be much smaller and not yet flowering!
We've raised them from seed, and made sure they are adjusted to 24/7 outdoor weather, so it will be the perfect time and size to take home and plant in your own garden to arrange in harmony with your other plants.
