Stratified American Panax Quinquefolius Ginseng Seeds
American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is one of North America’s most revered woodland botanicals. These seeds have already undergone full cold‑weather stratification, making them ready for spring sowing and reliable germination.
Known for its medicinal roots and graceful whorled leaves, American Ginseng thrives in cool, shaded hardwood forests with rich, humus‑laden soil. Our seed lots are sourced from long‑established woodland stands and prepared using traditional stratification methods.
