Ginseng Plant Profile

Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) is well-known for its health properties and is popular around the world. Learn to grow it for yourself with these tips.

www.thespruce.com

Because of its value in the world marketplace, there are strict laws in the United States about harvesting ginseng where it grows in the wild, and if caught, people who harvest it can be fined in some states. Native ginseng is now fairly rare to encounter in the wild, due to loss of habitat to development and invasive woodland plants such as garlic mustard, as well as over-harvesting by humans and overgrazing by exploding deer populations in many areas.

Perfectly legal to harvest on your own land.
