From Seed to Harvest: Cultivating Phytolacca americana

 Phytolacca americana

To cultivate Phytolacca americana (American pokeweed), sow seeds harvested from ripe, black fruits in the fall or early spring in a well-draining soil mix, as germination rates are higher  from mature seeds. You can also use root cuttings in the spring. 


The plant is hardy, tolerates poor soil, and requires minimal 
care beyond pruning to control its size and shape, typically 
done in late winter or early spring before new growth. 
All parts of the plant are toxic, so handle with 
care and wear gloves to prevent skin irritation.
