Ginseng is a widely cultivated perennial growing to 0.8m by 0.7m. The roots are usually used dried and used.<br />
<br />
==Cultivation==<br />
It is hardy to zone 6. The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs)<br />
The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in full shade (deep woodland) or semi-shade (light woodland). It requires moist soil.<br />
<br />
Requires a moist humus rich soil in a shady position in a woodland[200].<br />
<br />
===Propagation===<br />
Seed - sow in a shady position in a cold frame preferably as soon as it is ripe, otherwise as soon as the seed is obtained. It can be very slow and erratic to germinate. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and grow them on in a shady position in the greenhouse or frame for at least their first winter. Make sure the pots are deep enough to accommodate the roots. Plant out into their permanent positions in late summer. Division in spring.<br />
