Ginseng root is commonly used in herbal remedies. Ginseng is a slow growing plant. It takes at least five years for the roots to reach maturity. The process to prepare Ginseng seeds for planting is difficult. Many gardeners choose to purchase stratified seeds from cultivators for planting. This cultivated Ginseng seed is easier to plant than starting the process from an uncultivated seed. Ginseng should be planted in the fall prior to the ground freezing for the winter. The planting site should be in deep shade, such as underneath a tree.
Things You'll Need
Mulch
Garden hoe
Dig a half-inch deep hole for each Ginseng seed you are planting. The holes should be 6 inches apart from one another.
Place one seed in each hole.
Cover the holes back up with dirt.
Cover the entire area with 1 inch of mulch.
Tips & Warnings
Ginseng is low maintenance after it is planted. It can grow completely unattended once planted. The only difficult part is the stratification process, which is not needed when using cultivated Ginseng seeds.
