Pueraria peduncularis
Safety & Hazards
The roots have been used as a fish poison[1].
Cultivation Details
Pueraria peduncularis is native to moderate and high elevations in the warm temperate to tropical regions of southern China and the Himalayan region of the Indian subcontinent. At least at the higher elevations, it will experience frosts and snow.
Propagation
Pre-soak the seed for 12 hours in warm water and sow in a warm greenhouse in early spring. Germination should take place within 2 weeks. Prick out the seedlings into individual pots when they are large enough to handle and plant them out after the last expected frosts[2]. Cover the young plants with a frame or cloche until they are growing away well.
