Basically along and east of the Mississippi river. In southern range it is limited due to cold required to break dormancy. Ginseng cannot be grown in direct sunlight. 70% to 80% shade is ideal. In selecting a site, a natural woods works very nice, but must have at least a slight slope to avoid sitting water. Best to plant at the top of a hill or on the side of a hill and not at the low end of the hill. A woods with a mix of different types of trees is ideal. The plants can also be grown right in your own yard, but it must be a shady location. Rich, well drained soil on a slight slope is ideal. Ginseng is known to grow in a variety of soils. If other plants grow well, Ginseng will too. Ginseng likes moisture, but hates wetness. A low line area may cause root rot. Stratified American Ginseng Seed. Ginseng seed takes a year and a half before they germinate. Stratified means I have properly stored the seed for one year. And they will germinate this spring. Most will germinate and be growing in May. I float test my seed to remove floaters. Floaters are seed that have a hollow center and will not germinate. I advise planting soon after seed arrives for best results, as Ginseng seed is difficult to store properly, especially if you do not know what you are doing. The seed should be planted in soil at least a half inch deep. A fairly detailed planting instructions will be included just to be sure the seed is properly cared for after arrival, and planted properly. Your success is my success, and you will become a repeat customer. Review: I'm a real person... Who really purchased these... - I purchased these in hopes of introducing American Ginseng to our wooded property, but I won't be planting until next month so I don't have much to say yet. As I understand it Ginseng is finicky to grow and has lower germination rates to begin with (a Purdue University Extension Service article cited 70%). However, I'm expecting my germination rates to be even lower. I know there's only so much that a seller can do to protect seeds in transit, but when I received my seeds the package was physically hot and there was a considerable amount of condensation inside the inner package. I ordered seeds in the heat of August so I'm not sure what I expected. Ginseng is a long-term, multi-year project but I'll update this review if applicable.

In the fall **Q: I’m in pa. just ordered these. how soon can i plant them?** A: We planted in the fall . We had no luck at all **Q: I am in northern Vermont and it’s mid July, is it ok to plant by August 1 in my woodlands?** A: Yes that will be ok. You just want to have it planted before the ground freezes. **Q: I noticed you said plant soon after purchasing - when is the best time to plant if you live just a bit south of Charlotte, NC?** A: As long as your ground is not frozen, you can plant. Some locations are warm enough that they can plant now. Other locations, especially the northern states, the ground is frozen and they should not order seed yet until they are ready to plant.

I liked the papers they ship with them, they are very informational and helpful. I bought some from a different place last time, they didn't send info and I didn't know too much about how to care for the seeds and they got wasted, these papers woulda helped. These people seem like they actually care if you successfully grow these. Going to finish planting mine today and I'm confident that they'll turn out good. ## Frequently Bought Together - 1/4 Pound Stratified American Ginseng Seed - Dairyland Management Premium Ginseng Rootlets for Planting - Pack of 20 (2 Year Old Roots), Transplants for Home Gardening --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69972639-1-4-pound-stratified-american-ginseng-seed](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/69972639-1-4-pound-stratified-american-ginseng-seed) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-06-01*
