5 Seeds Siberian Ginseng Eleutherococcus senticosus Hardy Shrub

Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) is a hardy deciduous shrub grown for its distinctive palmate foliage, spiny stems, and small clusters of dark berries. Reaching heights of 6 to 10 feet at maturity, it develops an upright, suckering habit that works well as a woodland border, hedgerow, or naturalized landscape planting. Its textured green leaves and inconspicuous greenish flowers give it a quiet, architectural presence in the garden.
This shrub adapts to a range of garden settings and is valued as an ornamental and landscape specimen. The berries that follow the late spring flowers add seasonal interest, while the dense branching offers cover in mixed plantings. It performs best in consistently moist, well-drained soil and can be grown in partial shade to full sun. Space plants to allow for its spreading, suckering growth over time.
