Description
Product Details

Withania somnifera, commonly known as ashwagandha or Indian ginseng, is a perennial shrub from the nightshade family. Native to arid regions of Asia and North Africa, this plant has been cultivated for centuries for its traditional value and remarkable adaptability to harsh climates.

It typically grows between 30 and 150 cm tall, with woody stems and oval grey-green leaves. Its small yellowish flowers develop into round orange-red berries when mature. While it thrives naturally in dry, poor soils, it also responds well to cultivation in well-drained, sunny environments, making it suitable for low-maintenance or xeriscape gardens.

It propagates easily from seed, and although drought-tolerant, moderate watering is recommended during its early growth stages. With its simple appearance and resilience, it is an appealing option for both traditional cultivation and landscape designs inspired by Mediterranean or desert environments.
