Hardy to Zone 3 to 10
(Jie-geng) Herbaceous perennial native to China. The plant is already familiar to many as an heirloom garden favorite–its unopened flower has a striking blue-purple balloon shape that has fascinated horticulturalists for centuries.
Used in Chinese cookery, the white, fleshy, and man-shaped root becomes a potent culinary ingredient to special soups and sauces. Traditional usage (TCM): antitussive.
Prefers full sun and well-drained soil. Sow in fall, midwinter, or early spring in outdoor nursery bed or cold-condition for six weeks. Plant one foot apart. Flowers from 30 to 40 inches tall.
