Ashwaganda

Common Names: Ashwagandha, Indian Ginseng, Winter Cherry

Ashwagandha is a tough little shrub that loves the warm Perth sun. It is famous in traditional natural health for helping the body deal with stress and keeping energy levels up. This one is super easy to grow in our dry sandy yards once it gets going.

Features:

Ideal prune height range: 1m to 1.5m

pH growing conditions: 6.0 to 7.5

Shade or full sun: Loves full sun and baked spots

Water: Drought tolerant once established, just don't drown the roots

Ashwagandha grows fast and produces small green flowers followed by little orange berries wrapped in papery husks. It loves a sunny garden bed or a big pot where it can soak up the sun.

Interesting Notes:

The roots are the main event, harvested and dried to make traditional powders and teas.
