Ashwagandha OG - live plants
Withonia somnifera
These greenhouse grown Ashwagandha seedlings are available in 4 inch pots and 6-pack. Seeds are from Meeting House Farm.
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:
Order now to pick-up on Friday and Saturday, May 16th and 17th at Foreside Antiques Rt 1, Falmouth Maine.

Organic / Biodynamic Information
All live seedlings, bare roots and gallon-sized plants are certified organic by MOFGA and grown biodynamically from seed at Meeting House Herb Farm in Scarborough, Maine.
A Note about Plant Sizes
This picture shows the plant full grown.
If you are picking up Seedlings, know that they are quite small - just started and will need some care to establish. 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.
If you order bare root, they will be just breaking dormancy and will need to be planted as soon as possible. These will be 1 year plants. Give them a year to fully establish in their new home.
If you are picking up Gallon sized pots, they are 1-3 year old plants dug from our gardens at Meeting House Farm.
