How to Sow and Plant

Pre-treat (stratify) seeds: cold-stratify in moist sand (or as per supplier instructions) for 3–4 weeks before sowing

Sow seeds about ¼ inch (≈ 0.6 cm) deep in a well-draining, sandy or rocky soil mix.


Place sowing container in full sun or a warm, bright location.

How to Grow

Use well-drained, sandy or loamy, preferably rocky soil; avoid waterlogging.


Provide full sun exposure.

Water sparingly; once established, the plant is drought-tolerant and prefers dry conditions.

Tips

Best suited for dry, sandy or rocky soils — avoid rich, water-retentive soils.

Great for rock gardens, xeriscapes, and low-maintenance dry landscapes.

Because the species is dioecious, if you plan to produce seeds later you need both male and female plants.

Avoid overwatering — dryness after establishment is beneficial.

Perennial shrub

Ephedra Sinica (commonly called Ma Huang) is a hardy, drought-tolerant perennial shrub native to arid/desert regions. Its slender jointed green stems — in place of prominent leaves — give it a distinctive, architectural appearance. Its resilience to dry, sandy or rocky soils and minimal water requirements make it ideal for xeriscapes, rock gardens, and low-maintenance outdoor landscaping. The seeds offered are high-germination, non-GMO, heirloom quality, suited for gardeners seeking unique, low-water ornamental plants.
