DeleteAre you still interested in getting a plant? what country do you live in? if you are in UK I can maybe post it to you. Moi
DeleteI not sure if this blog is still active. I came across this after doing some research to try and identify this plant. I was told it was called 'Cay Tam That' in Vietnamese but this just lead me to Ginseng. I have this in my garden and wanted to know what it was called in English and it's uses, my parents and relatives swear by it.
