Ashwagandha is actually fairly easy to grow here and likes our humid climate. Since you’ll want to keep the root healthy for an eventual harvest, do not overwater as it is prone to root rot. The plant will grow fast and can be ready for that harvest in about a half a year.

Feverfew grows great in Central Florida. Plant it under a tree with well draining soil, as it likes dappled shade. Be sure to water often. It likes to spread and doesn’t need a lot of care once established. Trim flowers often to encourage more blooms.
