Ashwagandha

One plant in 4.5 inch deep pot

An important medicinal plant in Aryuvedic Medicine. Ashwagandha is known to reduce anxiety and promote well-being. The roots are used in decoction or tincture. The plant becomes a medium sized 18-24 inch bush and grows well in our gardens. It can have issues early in the season with flea beetles, especially if grown where potatoes or eggplants have been previously. Only the roots are used, therefore the entire plant is pulled and harvested in fall.
