Saposhnikovia divaricata – Fang Feng (Seeds)
Saposhnikovia divaricata is a perennial herbaceous plant belonging to the Apiaceae family (umbellifers) and is native to the steppe and mountainous regions of north-eastern and northern China. It produces finely pinnate, delicate leaves and upright inflorescences with white, loose umbels. It prefers sunny locations with well-drained, fairly dry soil.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, the root (Saposhnikoviae radix, ‘Fang Feng’) is traditionally used for those prone to colds and as a balancing component in herbal mixtures. The species is considered moderately frost-tolerant and should be given light winter protection in harsh locations or for young plants.

With its delicate, almost filigree growth habit and robust nature, Saposhnikovia divaricata is also well suited to herb beds, naturalistic plantings or as a structuring companion plant in sunny areas.

An important plant in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM).

Storage: If you don’t want to or can’t sow your seeds straight away, there are a few things you need to bear in mind to ensure they remain viable for as long as possible. You should store them in the best possible conditions. The seeds should be kept in a dry, airtight, dark container in a cool place with a stable temperature. You can, for example, store our seed packets in screw-top jars. For longer storage, you can add a small bag of silica gel, which absorbs moisture from the air. It is also important to check the seeds regularly.

As seeds are living organisms, they do not have an unlimited lifespan. However, we cannot give you a best-before date, as so many factors are crucial for seed germination. Optimal storage, however, ensures that you can enjoy your seeds for a long time – provided you haven’t sown them all at once ;)

Germination rates: In the product descriptions, you will find the germination rates, which represent an average between laboratory results and field germination. However, the stated germination rate does not guarantee the germination rate you will achieve at home, but merely serves as a guide to the desired germination rate of the seeds.

Batch number: The batch number and filling date are printed on the seed packets; we are legally obliged to do this. If you have any questions about our seeds, please always quote the relevant batch number (e.g. 1_kc1_2023).

For further questions, please also have a look at our FAQs or the Terms and Conditions.
Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee that our seeds will germinate. Although we carry out regular quality checks, ensure the seeds are stored under optimal conditions and test their germination rate, we have no control over the conditions during storage, germination and cultivation of the seeds in your home.

Please check the regulations, laws and import requirements in your country before purchasing our seeds.
