Goji Berry seeds

The Goji Berry, also known as the wolfberry, is a vibrant, scarlet-orange fruit that has captured global attention for its impressive nutritional profile and long history in traditional Chinese medicine. Originating in Asia, these hardy deciduous shrubs, typically varieties of Lycium barbarum or Lycium chinense, are not only a powerhouse of antioxidants but are also remarkably easy to grow in a wide range of climates (USDA Zones 3-10). The plants produce delicate, trumpet-shaped purple and white flowers that transition into a cascade of sweet, slightly tangy berries by late summer. As a low-maintenance, drought-tolerant perennial, the Goji Berry is an excellent choice for the sustainable, edible landscape, providing a beautiful and abundant harvest of fresh "superfruits" right in your backyard.
 
Growing Goji Berries from seed is a rewarding process that allows you to establish a robust, productive patch. For the best results, start the seeds indoors 6-8 weeks before the last expected frost, or direct-sow them outdoors once the danger of frost has passed and the soil is warm. These plants thrive in full sun and prefer well-draining, slightly alkaline soil, though they are quite adaptable. Goji shrubs can grow up to 10 feet tall if left untrellised, but they can also be pruned or trained onto a fence or trellis, making them suitable for smaller gardens. With minimal care—primarily occasional pruning to encourage bushier growth and maximum fruit production—your Goji plants will begin yielding fruit in their second year. Experience the satisfaction of harvesting your own berries for fresh eating, drying, or adding to teas and smoothies, ensuring the highest quality and freshest nutritional content.
