Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera)
Herbaceous perennial native to India and the middle east. One of the core medicines of Aurveda, Ashwagandha is a handsome plant of the Solanacea and thrives in regular garden soil in the full sun. The dried roots are the part used, as the aerial parts of the plant can be somewhat toxic if ingested. Ashwagandha will usually overwinter (especially if planted in well-drained soil with a sand mulch) if the winter temperatures do not descend lower than 20 degrees F. The plant dislikes a snow cover.
*Ashwagandha is a member of the tomato family, producing small orange/red fruits when ripe, which have contributed to its more commonly known name of Indian Winter Cherry. It is usually grown in the more temperate, drier climates of India but is also now seen in some areas of the US.
Not only are the root, stem, leaf and berry of this popular plant used in medicine but the fruit can also be utilized as a substitute for rennet in cheese-making.
