The native habitat of ginseng is the open, broad-leaved woodlands in hilly areas. American ginseng occurs in an area around the great lakes from Quebec and Manitoba south to northern Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Arkansas. Most commercial production occurs in areas that experience a continental-type climate with cold winters and dry summers. This climate ensures that the plant experiences sufficient winter chilling to allow uniform emergence in the spring while the dry summers help prevent the spread of disease. The preferred soil type is free draining with no hard pan. Sandy loams to clay loams are preferred. Organic matter and fertilizers are often added to the soil before planting at rates that vary considerably from grower to grower. In its native environment ginseng grows under high levels of shade provided by the forest canopy and quickly loses vigour and dies if the shade is removed. Shade can be provided by wooden lath, shade cloth or by growing the crop commercially under a forest canopy. Most shading systems provide between 75% to 90% shade. Hardy in zones 4+.

This review is from: Ginseng 35 Seeds - Panax quinquefolius - Herb
This will be the second year sense I've planted this ginseng and it has not sprouted at all. I'll wait and see if they spout this year but have grave doubts about them sprouting now. I planted two kinds of ginseng, American and Korean and neither came up.
