Description

With origins on the Indian subcontinent (India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh) Ashwagandha has a variety of herbal uses. Used primarily as an immune booster, Ashwagandha is considered to be a rasayana herb, a term that means rejuvenation in ayurvedic medine. Roughly translating into “knowledge of long life,”  Ayurvedic medicine dates back to ancient India.
Some people call this plant Indian ginseng because it has similar uses to Ginseng in Chinese medicine. Several drug companies are currently competing for patents for Ashwagandha, claiming it to be effective as an antioxidant, aphrodisiac and diuretic. It is also used as a treatment for memory loss, fever, arthritis, tumors, anxiety and to promote overall wellness
Growing Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) from Seed.
Ashwagandha is easy to grow from seed. Use a good well draining potting soil and only lightly cover the seeds. Some sources state the seed needs light to germinate and we have certainly found that a heavier coating of soil seems to retard germination. Seeds need warm temperatures at least 70°F ( 20°C) then germination takes about 2 weeks longer at lower temperatures. Best started inside in mid to late winter to allow from good growth before planting out. See our General Growing instructions for more details on seed starting. Pot seedlings into individual pots as soon as they are large enough to handle and continue to grow on inside until outside temperature and more importantly soil temperatures are at least 65°F (18°C) before planting out. Ashwagandha needs as long a growing period as you can give it to reach maximum height and root development before harvest. Needs bright sunshine or good artificial light
