Description: Product Information: Each order consists of two (2) Ashitaba starter plants, fully rooted and packed together in one plastic container with soil. We carefully hand package and inspected every plant to ensure that you receive the highest quality product. The product in this listing is genuine red-stemmed Ashitaba originating from Hachijojima, Japan. This rare cultivar is regarded as the most medicinally active of all the Ashitaba varieties, and the most coveted. It is a dwarf variety that's identifiable by its uniquely shaped leaves, thin red stems, and compact form. The leaves are tender and delicious, which isn't always true of the green-stemmed variety. Plant Background Information: The scientific name for red-stemmed Ashitaba is Angelica keiskei koidzumi. Ashitaba has been used as a medicinal herb in East Asia for centuries and is thought to have numerous health benefits. Ashitaba means “tomorrow's leaf”; it is regarded as a “reiso”, which means “mysterious or mystical plant” in Japanese. It is a fast growing plant. Imported Ashitaba usually comes in powder form, but we are making the live plant available to you! Red-stemmed Ashitaba was specially cultivated for maximum potency. It can be consumed raw, cooked, or steeped in hot water as an herbal tea. Ashitaba has a mild, pleasant flavor reminiscent of celery, so it's easy to incorporate into your cooking. Plant Care Information: Ashitaba grows best in rich, loamy, well-drained soil. We never use chemical fertilizer on our plants to ensure food safety; homemade compost works just as well. Water moderately and grown outdoors in partial to full sunlight. When you receive your starter plants, please unwrap and water them immediately; they are ready for you to transplant. These plants are very hardy, low maintenance, and should have no problem growing anywhere in the United States, no matter the climate. Other Notes: Plants are natural products, so some variation in appearance is to be expected. We do our best to package our plants securely for shipping and pack them in soil instead of bare root to ensure freshness. You may want to give your plants some time to acclimate to their new environment before transplanting them outdoors. In the rare event that your plant gets damaged during shipping, please contact us directly for assistance before leaving a complaint. We are here to help and will assist you in any way we can until you are fully satisfied.
