In the wild, it grows in shady woodlands and thickets. Spikenard needs a part sun / part shade location with protection from winds. Plant seeds in moist, well-draining soil. Spring planting should wait until all chance of frost is past. In cool climates, seeds can be started indoors. Transplant young seedlings to their permanent location in spring, after the threat of frost has passed. Do not wait for the plants to establish before transplanting them, as it is difficult to move them once they mature. The growth season for Spikenard is from May to late October. Flowering occurs in June-August, and fruiting in August-September. Contraindications & Toxicity: Do not use if pregnant or nursing.
