Frequently Asked Questions

What type of plant is Angelica keiskei?

Angelica keiskei, commonly called Ashitaba, is a herbaceous perennial in the Apiaceae family. It develops upright growth and broad green foliage under suitable growing conditions.

Can Ashitaba be grown successfully in containers?

Yes. Ashitaba can be grown in containers when provided with enough root space, fertile well-drained soil, suitable light, and consistent moisture.

What temperature is suitable for Ashitaba seed germination?

A temperature around 65–75°F (18–24°C) is commonly suitable for germination. Keep the growing medium evenly moist without making it waterlogged.

How much space should I give Ashitaba plants?

Allow roughly 18–24 inches between plants. This gives the foliage enough room to develop while maintaining airflow around the plant.

Does Ashitaba prefer full sun or partial shade?

Ashitaba can grow in partial sun to full sun. In warmer climates, some afternoon shade may help protect plants from intense heat.

How long does Ashitaba take to germinate?
