This ginseng-like plant of the Ayurvedics has been used mainly in cases of physical and mental exhaustion and makes a very good stimulant. Harvest the roots after the plant's foliage has died back following the first frost.
Preferring hot, full sun, this herb will grow well after ALL chances of frost are gone. Given proper temperatures, soil depth and adequate (but not excessive) watering, the Ashwagandha root should be ready to harvest in the first year.
A strong and vigorous plant, Ashwagandha is considered the "hottest herb in India" and is known as 'Indian Ginseng' and 'Winter Cherry'.
