Other: Siberian Ginseng is a small shrub native to Northeast Asia. It has long been used in traditional Chinese medicine and is still used today. It is not actually a true ginseng but is called ginseng because of its similar properties. The shrub is very cold hardy and can grow in sandy, poor, or clay soils. The branches have thorns. Bees pollinate the summer flowers, turning them into 1/2 inch dark blue ornamental fall berries.
