Cultivation

Codonopsis lanceolata grows in moist areas in woodland on low hills or mountains at an elevation of 200–1600 m. The plant grows best in light and medium-well drained soils with plenty of moisture with a neutral to semi-acidic pH and in full sun to semi-shade.[3][4] It will grow to a height of 5 feet (1.5 m) high, blooming in late summer, but it dies back each winter.[2] The flower blooms from August to September, and the seeds ripen from September to October.[2]

The plant may be propagated by seeds that are surface-sown onto

hermaphroditic and may be pollinated by bees and wasps.[4]

The plant is grown commercially in

Gangwon Province, South Korea, where it is an important part of the local agriculture.[5]
Many South Koreans also grow a small amount in personal gardens.

Etymology

The

specific epithet of lanceolata refers to the plant's lance-shaped leaves. The genus name, Codonopsis, is derived from the Greek κώδων (kodon) "bell" and ὄψις (opsis) "eye, to see", referring to the shape of the petals of the flower.[2]
