American ginseng

Purchase properly stratified seed and sow 1–2 in deep in a shaded, forested bed with well-drained, humus-rich, slightly acidic soil; do not expect germination until the following spring at the earliest. Ginseng requires 60–75% canopy shade and the deep, crumbly forest soil of its native Appalachian habitat — it will not thrive in open garden conditions. Plants must grow for a minimum of 5–7 years before roots reach marketable size, making patience the primary gardening virtue here. Harvest roots in autumn by carefully digging to preserve the branched root shape; roots are dried slowly at low heat and used in adaptogenic teas, tinctures, and traditional Chinese medicine preparations. Спосіб посадки: Посів у відкритий ґрунт Відстань між рослинами: 12–18 дюймів Висота: 12–24 дюймів Дні до схожості: 180–540 Температура ґрунту для схожості: 10–16°C
