While it makes an attractive addition to a sunny patio, it is globally celebrated for its robust, medicinal roots. Ideal Growing Conditions - Light: Requires full sun. It needs 68 hours of direct daily sunlight to develop its potent compounds. - Soil: Thrives in loose, well-draining sandy loam with a neutral to slightly alkaline pH. It easily tolerates poor, dry soils. - Water: Highly drought-resistant.
