Withania somniferia
Evergreen shrub in the nightshade family. Woody shrub commonly known as "Indian ginseng" or "winter cherry", grows about 2m high and to 1m across.
Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) is a medicinal herb that has been used for centuries in traditional Ayurvedic medicine. It's known for its potential adaptogenic and stress-relieving properties.
In colder climates, ashwagandha can be grown as an annual or dug up and brought indoors for the winter. If you're growing it as a perennial, mulch the plant heavily in the fall to protect it from the cold.
Remember that ashwagandha is a powerful medicinal herb, so it's important to consult with a healthcare professional before using it for any medicinal purposes.
