Ashwagandha, Vedic Type, Withania somnifera
Name: Ashwagandha, Vedic Phenotype
Scientific Name: Withania somnifera
Product Description:
An evergreen woody shrub in desert and tropical areas but capable of being an herbaceous, perennial in temperate zones; Belonging to the nightshade family it produces green berries encased in lantern like pods that mature to a pretty bright red. You know the seed pods are mature when the calyx becomes transparent showing the berry within. The name Ashwagandha is from the Sanskrit language and is a combination of the word ashva, meaning horse, and gandha, meaning smell. The root has a strong aroma that is described as “horse-like.” The Vedic phenotype is a bit more compact than the African phenotype.
Don’t confuse ashwagandha with Physalis alkekengi. Both are known as winter cherry.
Origination: Withania somnifera is cultivated in many of the drier regions of India, such as Mandsaur District of Madhya Pradesh, Punjab, Sindh, Gujarat, and Rajasthan. It is also found in Nepal, China and Yemen.
Height: 35–75 cm (14–30 in) tall

Cape gooseberries are probably most well-known for their berries which resemble a small cherry tomato in appearance, but are much sweeter and tart. When growing after the flowers fall off, the immature fruit forms an expanding calyx which will become the hush that surrounds the fruit. If the fruit is left inside the intact calyx husks, its shelf life at room temperature is about 30–45 days.
Despite its name, it is not botanically related to gooseberries such as the Ribes gooseberry, Indian gooseberry, or Chinese gooseberry.
Origination: South America
Recommended Uses: Culinary
Height: 3-6 ft
Hardiness: zones: to USDA zone 8, but frost tender
Flower Color: Yellow, purple-bown spots
Maturity: 80 days
Other Names: Goldenberry, Peruvian Ground Cherry, Pichuberry or Physalis

Cape Gooseberry handles anything from full sun to part shade, making it easy to find a spot for as long as the other conditions are right. It grows in a wide range of soils, from light sandy soils to heavy clay soils. Cape Gooseberry plants prefers well-draining soil and, will still grow well even if the soil is nutritionally poor, preferring acidic soil.
Please try to understand that most of these plants are not garden center plants. They are wild perennial plants that will go dormant at certain times of the year. We do not have a set up that allows us to grow year-round so we have to grow with the seasons. If you buy a plant out of season, I will typically still send it because it is a perennial plant and will grow again when the climate allows it to grow again. I will never send out a declining annual plant unless I contact you first. Though most of these are easy to grow, they are NOT all beginner plants. This statement applies to medicinal plants, herbs, and some vegetables – not so much succulents, hoyas and cacti, though they go dormant too, they usually still look the same and don’t decline during dormancy. If you are unsure when a plant grows best or goes dormant, please don't hesitate to ask me. They don't all go dormant at the same time here in Jacksonville, Fl. I can't speak for anywhere else though with certainty.
You will receive a plant that is very similar to the plants pictured, however, they may have grown some, or, depending on the time of year, they could be semi-dormant. Ships in a 3" pot. We put great care into packaging our plants and problems have been VERY rare, but due to the nature of the items shipped, it is possible for leaves or small stems to bend or break in transit but generally this is only cosmetic, and the plant will recover once watered and placed in a bright location (But not direct sun since they just came out of the box!). If your plant arrives rotting or dead, we will replace it for you. Please contact me with photo proof within 24 hours of delivery of your plants. It is my commitment to provide you with a live, healthy plant. Please note that minor cosmetic damage, such as a few broken leaves or small stems, may occur during transit and is a common risk inherent in the shipping process. After 24 hours, my job is done and it is up to you (The buyer) to know how to keep it alive. I have only grown plants in Florida and will send out anything I feel comfortable will grow here. In other words, it is up to you to know the conditions that these plants grow in the part of the country you reside.
Heat packs are available for purchase with your item to use if cold weather is expected at the time of shipment. (Link to Heat Pack: bit.ly/40ugd4J ) Keep in mind some plants we carry are very tropical and even cold, not freezing, temperatures can kill them. I will cancel any order I feel won't make it safely to its destination without freezing. 📌IF YOU EXPECT COLD WEATHER, PLEASE PURCHASE A HEAT PACK! 📌 I don't make any profit off of them because they are a necessary shipping item in winter.
Care instructions are included with your order. Don’t hesitate to reach out to me for any extra advice you may require. We want you to be successful with our babies! If you have any questions about this item or others, please message me and I will gladly answer them.
