It’s native to Turkmenistan, Iran, Afghanistan,
Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Kashmir, Tajikistan, and Kazakhstan and is a bit smaller
than some other species. It only grows to about three feet tall.
Ferula-Devil's dung grows best in a cold, arid, sunny climate. While it’s a
fussy plant, in the right climate, it will hunker down and stubbornly grow (and
spread) without any interference from us. But when the weather takes a turn that these plants don’t like,
they go dormant. That’s why they grow so slowly.
It’s an ongoing cycle of dormancy, resurgence, dormancy, and
resurgence. But if you can manage the environment as best you can, you can
speed things up.
Asafetida plant needs full sun, but it doesn’t like heat. Don’t be tempted to grow it in
partial shade to keep it cool. It actually needs full sun. In the wild, you’ll find most species growing in sandy or loamy
soil in full sun.
The quickest way to get rid of asafetida is to plant
it somewhere with heavy, poorly-draining soil. Your soil should have a pH
around 6.5 to 7.5.
Remember, your ferula won’t die, it will just
go dormant in adverse conditions. That means it will stop growing, or it might
even die back temporarily. The more often the plant goes dormant, the longer it
takes to mature. Availability: Seeds- 10,25,50 & 100 seeds pkt
