American Ginseng stratified is a shade-loving perennial native to Eastern North American forests, prized in traditional medicine for supporting digestive health and sustained energy. As a recognized adaptogen, it has been valued for centuries across multiple cultural traditions. Our year-long stratified seed eliminates guesswork from cultivation. Plant in fall (August–December) in a shady, well-draining location—simply clear leaf litter, space seeds 6 inches apart at 1 inch depth, and mulch over. Spring emergence is nearly guaranteed. This cold-stratified seed is ready to plant immediately upon arrival, making it ideal for establishing a productive ginseng patch. Success requires patience and consistent care. Allow 3–4 years for roots to reach harvestable maturity. Maintain consistent moisture during the growing season, avoid direct sunlight, and protect seedlings from competition. Once established, a ginseng bed can produce for decades with minimal intervention.  Our Non-GMO seed delivers germination rates of 70% or better, ensuring reliable establishment. We're committed to sustainability: our packaging is fully reusable and recyclable, designed to minimize environmental impact while protecting seed viability.
